Sounds good to me, but I had to move struct kexec_buf from
kernel/kexec_internal.h to include/linux/kexec.h.

Here's the updated patch. What do you think?

kexec_file: Generalize kexec_add_buffer.

Allow architectures to specify different memory walking functions for
kexec_add_buffer. Intel uses iomem to track reserved memory ranges,
but PowerPC uses the memblock subsystem.
