Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Misc comments fixup in relocate_kernel_64.S

The assembly code of relcocate_kernel() takes some time to follow for
newbies like me.  This series adds some comments to try to improve the
readability hoping they could be helpful to others too.  Also fix an
error (IIUC) in one comment.

v1 -> v2:
  - Add Kirill's tag.

  v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/q2y5vte3wwn5qde5p4nfmjfqtzxfen3nhjdyafc7nbirfidpvr@ro3djjz3pub4/T/

Kai Huang (2):
  x86/kexec: Fix a comment of swap_pages() assembly
  x86/kexec: Add comments around swap_pages() assembly to improve
    readability
