However, I'm fuzzy on how exactly the whole compatibility thing is done with kexec-tools and the kernel. We probably would have to support newer kexec-tools on an older kernel and vice versa so I'd guess we should mark walk_iomem_res() deprecated so that people are encouraged to upgrade to newer kexec-tools...
