The discussion about how to pass device tree nodes/properties via
kexec_file_load seems a bit stuck at the moment. Since I'm targeting kernel
4.9 for this patch series, and considering that this code is functional and
useful as it is, I'd like to keep the process of upstreaming it in motion.

Ping?
