Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) a3d2e34dce Documentation: KHO: add memblock bindings ...

We introduced KHO into Linux: A framework that allows Linux to pass
metadata and memory across kexec from Linux to Linux.  KHO reuses fdt as
file format and shares a lot of the same properties of firmware-to- Linux
boot formats: It needs a stable, documented ABI that allows for forward
and backward compatibility as well as versioning.

As first user of KHO, we introduced memblock which can now preserve memory
ranges reserved with reserve_mem command line options contents across
kexec, so you can use the post-kexec kernel to read traces from the
pre-kexec kernel.

This patch adds memblock schemas similar to "device" device tree ones to a
new kho bindings directory.  This allows us to force contributors to
document the data that moves across KHO kexecs and catch breaking change
during review.
