This series resolves an issue on PowerVM and KVM on Power where the memory

either of the two kexec syscalls.
FYI: This was the previous attempt that didn't work with the older kexec
syscall: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/4afde78d-e138-9eee-50e0-dbd32f4dcfe0@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#m158630d214837e41858b03d4b025e6f96cb8f251
Doesn't everyone else still need that? Is powerpc the only ones that
Are you referring to the old series with 'that' ? I more or less had to
abandon it because it wouldn't solve the problem for the old kexec
syscall, so that's why I am embedding the whole log now in the
devicetree since the DT is properly carried across the kexec soft reboot
on PowerVM and KVM for Power. Maybe other platforms will (have to)
follow, but I don't know.
care about the old kexec syscall?
