KHO does not use device tree as the boot protocol, it uses FDT as a data
structure and adds architecture specific bits to the boot structures to
point to that data, very similar to how IMA_KEXEC works.

Currently KHO is implemented on arm64 and x86, but there is no fundamental
reason why it wouldn't work on any architecture that supports kexec.
