[PATCH v5 0/7] kexec: add generic support for elf kernel images

[Michael Ellerman]

Hi Helge,

Sorry I meant to do something about this series but got swamped by other
things, as always.

The ideal way to handle a series like this is to put it in a topic
branch based off rc1, so that both trees can merge it without pulling in
any unrelated arch changes.

But in this case I don't see any conflicts so I think it's fine for it
to go via your tree, it will get some testing in linux-next.

cheers
