[PATCH v6 08/14] kexec: add config option for KHO

From: Changyuan Lyu
Date: Fri Apr 11 2025 - 01:40:21 EST


From: Alexander Graf <graf@xxxxxxxxxx>

We have all generic code in place now to support Kexec with KHO. This
patch adds a config option that depends on architecture support to
enable KHO support.

+ Allow kexec to hand over state across kernels by generating and
+ passing additional metadata to the target kernel. This is useful
+ to keep data or state alive across the kexec. For this to work,
+ both source and target kernels need to have this option enabled.
