x86/kexec: add support for passing kexec handover (KHO) data
kexec handover (KHO) creates a metadata that the kernels pass between each
other during kexec. This metadata is stored in memory and kexec image
contains a (physical) pointer to that memory.
In addition, KHO keeps "scratch regions" available for kexec: physically
contiguous memory regions that are guaranteed to not have any memory that
KHO would preserve. The new kernel bootstraps itself using the scratch
regions and sets all handed over memory as in use. When subsystems that
support KHO initialize, they introspect the KHO metadata, restore
preserved memory regions, and retrieve their state stored in the preserved
memory.
Enlighten x86 kexec-file and boot path about the KHO metadata and make
sure it gets passed along to the next kernel.
