Hello,

Note: We are currently discussing whether we need a new syscall so that
userspace can provide a custom device tree for the new kernel. Even if
that ends up being the way forward, it would affect only patches 7 and 8,
and even in those patches a significant part of the code would stay
the same. Therefore, it's still important for me to get feedback on
this series.
The discussion about how to pass device tree nodes/properties via 
kexec_file_load seems a bit stuck at the moment. Since I'm targeting kernel 
4.9 for this patch series, and considering that this code is functional and 
useful as it is, I'd like to keep the process of upstreaming it in motion.

Ping?
