I'm very much not keen on placing all this information in a single
structure -- that adds a new tight coupling that we didn't have before,
and it looks like it's going to be painful to maintain.

If kexec uses the existing high-level hotplug infrastructure, it has no
reason to go anywhere near this information.

So I really don't like this patch.

Why do you think we need this information to be centralized in this way?

Thanks,
Mark.
