No, my concern is why we have to do the check in kernel if we have done that in kexec-tools utility. You didn't say your kexec-lite need this until now. I think it's fine to add the check in kernel if you prefer to do the check in kernel, but not in kexec-lite. The motivation or reason you want to make the change is very important. > > Once the changes land in the kernel I can make a patch for that.
