Please describe you patch.

All the changes you are doing to the ppc64 version in order to make it 
generic should be described.

Those changes are also maybe worth splitting the patch in several parts, 
either preparing the ppc64 for generic then moving to kernel/kexec_elf.c 
or moving to kernel/kexec_elf.c without modifications, then modifying it 
to make it generic.

Note that your patch only applies on Linux 5.1, it doesn't apply on 
powerpc/next.

Don't worry about that. By the time it's merged powerpc/next will
probably have moved on, and if not I can deal with any conflicts.

Using master or powerpc/merge as a base is fine.

cheers
