Subject: [PATCH 0/7] kexec_file: refactoring for other architecutres 

subject: 

This is a preparatory patch set for adding kexec_file support on arm64.

It was originally included in a arm64 patch set[1], but Philipp is also
working on their kexec_file support on s390[2] and some changes are now
conflicting.

So these common part was extracted and put into a separate patch set for
better integration. What's more, my original patch#4 was split into a few
small chunks for easier review after Dave's comment.

As such, the resulting code is basically identical with my original, and
the only difference is that kexec_file_loaders[] is now declared in kexec.h
after Phillipp's comment[3]. Other than that, this patch set doesn't
require any changes on the rest of my original patch set(#1, #6 to #13).

Patch#1 allows making a use of purgatory optional, particularly useful
for arm64.
Patch#2 commonalizes arch_kexec_kernel_{image_probe, image_load,
verify_sig}() and arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() across architectures.
Patch#3-#7 is also intended to generalize parse_elf64_headers(), along with
exclude_mem_range(), to be made best re-use of.

AKASHI Takahiro (7):
  kexec_file: make an use of purgatory optional
  kexec_file,x86,powerpc: factor out kexec_file_ops functions
  x86: kexec_file: purge system-ram walking from prepare_elf64_headers()
  x86: kexec_file: remove X86_64 dependency from prepare_elf64_headers()
  x86: kexec_file: lift CRASH_MAX_RANGES limit on crash_mem buffer
  x86: kexec_file: clean up prepare_elf64_headers()
  kexec_file, x86: move re-factored code to generic side
