SubjectRe: [PATCH v1 0/2] kexec: Remove "weak" annotations from headers
Hi Bjorn,

There are changes I have made to solve 5-level conflict with
kexec/kdump and also interface unification task, they will involve x86
64 only changes on these functions, I don't think we need remove them if
without any obvious impact or error reported.

Thanks
Baoquan
