Subject: kexec: add Kexec HandOver (KHO) generation helpers
Date: Fri, 9 May 2025 00:46:22 -0700

Add the infrastructure to generate Kexec HandOver metadata.  Kexec
HandOver is a mechanism that allows Linux to preserve state - arbitrary
properties as well as memory locations - across kexec.

It does so using 2 concepts:

  1) KHO FDT - Every KHO kexec carries a KHO specific flattened device tree
     blob that describes preserved memory regions. Device drivers can
     register to KHO to serialize and preserve their states before kexec.

  2) Scratch Regions - CMA regions that we allocate in the first kernel.
     CMA gives us the guarantee that no handover pages land in those
     regions, because handover pages must be at a static physical memory
     location. We use these regions as the place to load future kexec
     images so that they won't collide with any handover data.
