All existing kexec and kdump sysfs entries are moved to a new location,
/sys/kernel/kexec, to keep /sys/kernel/ clean and better organized.
Symlinks are created at the old locations for backward compatibility and
can be removed in the future [01/03].

While doing this cleanup, the old kexec and kdump sysfs entries are
marked as deprecated in the existing ABI documentation [02/03]. This
makes it clear that these older interfaces should no longer be used.
New ABI documentation is added to describe the reorganized interfaces
[03/03], so users and tools can rely on the updated sysfs interfaces
going forward.
