Subject: [PATCH v3 16/17] tracing: Add config option for kexec handover
Now that all bits are in place to allow ftrace to pass its trace data
into the next kernel on kexec, let's give users a kconfig option to
enable the functionality.

+ Enable support for ftrace to pass metadata across kexec so the new
+ kernel continues to use the previous kernel's trace buffers.
+
+ This can be useful when debugging kexec performance or correctness
+ issues: The new kernel can dump the old kernel's trace buffer which
+ contains all events until reboot.
