-Setup for kernel modification of the elfcorehdr. This option performs
-the steps needed to support kernel updates to the elfcorehdr in the
-presence of hot un/plug and/or on/offline events. This option only
-useful for KEXEC_LOAD syscall.
+Setup kexec segments such that kernel can safely update them on CPU/Memory
+hot add/remove events. If this option is enabled, kernel does in-kernel
+update of kexec segments on CPU/Memory hot add/remove events. Helps avoid
+the need to reload kdump kernel.
