Thank you very much!

Oh, Yes. That should be 0, I will change it.

I will change the comments to reflect the changes to kernel_kexec.

I think this is because kexec_lock is used by crash_kexec() too, which
may be called in some extreme environment, such as during panic().

If CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP is defined, kexec_image->preserve_context will
always be 0. So current code is safe. Here, #ifdef is used to resolve
the dependency issue. For example, save_processor_state() may be
undefined if CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP is not defined.
