These two cells values are 0 here. Did you want
arch_kexec_file_init() in patch 7 in this patch?

Ah, range_len isn't used, so, did you want the cells values and this range_len
thing in in patch 7!?

I can't find where fdt_prop_len() .... oh, patch 7. fdt_prop_len() doesn't look
like the sort of thing that should be created here, but I agree there isn't an
existing API to do this.

(This must be why powerpc guesses that the fdt won't be more than double in size).

fdt_setprop_string()?

sizeof(value) was assumed to be the same as sizeof(u64) earlier.
fdt_setprop_u64()?

While powerpc has some similar code for updating the initrd and cmdline, it
makes different assumptions about the size of the dt, and has different behavior
for memreserve. (looks like we don't expect the initramfs to be memreserved).
Lets leave unifying that stuff where possible for the future.

I'm surprised there initrd has no alignment requirement, but kexec_add_buffer()
rounds this up to PAGE_SIZE.

Won't kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() always be called if we return an error
here? Why not leave the free()ing until then?
