[PATCH 0/1] liveupdate: Add internal APIs for file preservation

[Samiullah Khawaja]

Live update orchestrator file handlers depend on the preservation of
other files. To make sure that the dependency is preserved, the file
handlers needs to fetch the preservation token of the preserved
dependency. Similarly during restore, a file handler wants to fetch the
restored file of the dependency.

There are two known usecases of this,

- VFIO-Cdev preservation requires the preservation of iommufd. This is
  required by the IOMMU preservation series:
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260427175633.1978233-1-skhawaja@xxxxxxxxxx/
- guest_memfd preservation requires the preservation of kvmfd. This is
  required by the guest_memfd preservation series:
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20ae20f9d1a198b289444ebb4c824314cbba1bcf.1780676742.git.tarunsahu@xxxxxxxxxx/

This patch was being sent as part of the IOMMU preservation series, but
now it is being sent separately.
