Subject: [PATCH 2/3] kexec: Add DTB carryover support on x86
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 15:39:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260612223945.1400554-3-makb@juniper.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260612223945.1400554-1-makb@juniper.net>

Add support for forcing the carryover of the current boot's device tree
blob on x86. This is enabled via the --force-dtb flag.
