Subject[PATCH 01/11] kexec_file: allow archs to handle special regions while locating memory hole
From
Date
Some archs can have special memory regions, within the given memory
range, which can't be used for the buffer in a kexec segment. As
kexec_add_buffer() function is being called from generic code as well,
add weak arch_kexec_add_buffer definition for archs to override & take
care of special regions before trying to locate a memory hole.
