The previous commit ("kexec: move sysfs entries to /sys/kernel/kexec")
moved all existing kexec sysfs entries to a new location. The ABI
document is updated to include a note about the deprecation of the old
kexec sysfs entries.
The following kexec sysfs entries are deprecated:
- /sys/kernel/kexec_loaded
- /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded
- /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size
- /sys/kernel/crash_elfcorehdr_size
