/**
 * DOC: memblock kexec handover ABI
 *
 * Memblock can serialize its current memory reservations created with
 * reserve_mem command line option across kexec through KHO.
 * The post-KHO kernel can then consume these reservations and they are
 * guaranteed to have the same physical address.
 *
 * The state is serialized using Flattened Device Tree (FDT) format. Any
 * modification to the FDT structure, node properties, or the compatible
 * strings constitutes a breaking change. Such changes require incrementing the
 * version number in the relevant `_COMPATIBLE` string to prevent a new kernel
 * from misinterpreting data from an old kernel.
 *
 * Changes are allowed provided the compatibility version is incremented.
 * However, backward/forward compatibility is only guaranteed for kernels
 * supporting the same ABI version.
 *
 * FDT Structure Overview:
 *   The entire memblock state is encapsulated within a single KHO entry named
 *   "memblock".
 *   This entry contains an FDT with the following layout:
 *
 *   .. code-block:: none
 *
 *	/ {
 *		compatible = "memblock-v1";
 *
 *		n1 {
 *			compatible = "reserve-mem-v1";
 *			start = <0xc06b 0x4000000>;
 *			size = <0x04 0x00>;
 *		};
 *	};
 *
 * Main memblock node (/):
 *
 *   - compatible: "memblock-v1"

 *     Identifies the overall memblock ABI version.
 *
 * reserved_mem node:
 *   These nodes describe all reserve_mem regions. The node name is the name
 *   defined by the user for a reserve_mem region.
 *
 *   - compatible: "reserve-mem-v1"
 *
 *     Identifies the ABI version of reserve_mem descriptions
 *
 *   - start: u64
 *
 *     Physical address of the reserved memory region.
 *
 *   - size: u64
 *
 *     size in bytes of the reserved memory region.
