You could just change the kexec core to call kvfree() instead.

However, given all the other buffers have an explicit field in kimage
or kimage_arch, changing powerpc is to match arm64 is better IMO.

The first thing this function does is call setup_new_fdt() which first
calls of_kexec_setup_new_fdt(). (Note, I really don't understand the
PPC code split. It looks like there's a 32-bit and 64-bit split, but
32-bit looks broken to me. Nothing ever calls setup_new_fdt() except
setup_new_fdt_ppc64()). The arm64 version is calling
of_alloc_and_init_fdt() and then of_kexec_setup_new_fdt() directly.
So we can just make of_alloc_and_init_fdt() also call
of_kexec_setup_new_fdt() (really, just tweak of_kexec_setup_new_fdt do
the alloc and copy). I don't think the architecture needs to pick the
size either. It's doubtful that either one is that sensitive to the
amount of extra space.

Just call kvfree() directly.
