Matt, desc_version is already in boot_params.efi_info, so kexec-tools can get
the version from there. I do not need to export it as another file.
I think for now we do not need worry much about the compatibility issue, do you
think I need add version checking in kexec-tools currently? like below?
if (desc_version != 1) /* current version is 1? */
error out it is not supported
