[PATCH 1/4] memblock: get rid of CONFIG_MEMBLOCK_KHO_SCRATCH

Pratyush Yadav pratyush at kernel.org
Tue Aug 11 09:26:37 PDT 2026


From: "Pratyush Yadav (Google)" <pratyush at kernel.org>

This config is only a proxy for CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER. It is only
enabled by KHO. No point in the indirection. Use CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER
directly.
