Actually, I have one more comment on this patch:

With this change, setup_new_fdt() is nothing more than a call to
of_kexec_setup_new_fdt(). It should be removed, and its caller should
call of_kexec_setup_new_fdt() directly.

This change could be done in patch 4 of this series, to keep this patch
simpler.
