[PATCH 2/3] kexec: Introduce UKI image parser

[Pingfan Liu]

Hello everyone,

I have created V2 and make a PR: https://github.com/horms/kexec-tools/pull/9

Due to utilizing the workflow in github to have some basic checks
automatically , I migrated it to github instead of mailing-list.

Please share your opinions.


Thanks
