[PATCH 2/6] powerpc: kexec_file: Add buffer hand-over support for the next kernel

2016-06-20 Thread Thiago Jung Bauermann
The buffer hand-over mechanism allows the currently running kernel to pass data to kernel that will be kexec'd via a kexec segment. The second kernel can check whether the previous kernel sent data and retrieve it. This is the architecture-specific part. Signed-off-by: Thiago Jung Bauermann
