Host kernel updates in the cloud should not require draining the
machine: next to live migration to another host, replacing the kernel in
place while preserving selected workload state ("live update") is what
KHO/LUO were built for, and LUO's documentation names hypervisor hosts as
its primary use case. This series closes the gap for riscv64 and
validates it with both upstream test runners.

KHO has been architecture independent since it was merged: the outgoing
kernel publishes the handover FDT and the bootmem descriptor array in
the /chosen node of the DTB it builds for the incoming kernel, and the
incoming kernel collects both while scanning that node -- which is why
the arm64 integration (commit 274cdcb1c004) needed only three lines of
arch code.

RISC-V already walks those generic paths. The blocker is ordering:
setup_arch() runs early_ioremap_setup() after parse_dtb(), so the early
mapping kho_populate() needs for the handover FDT is not set up yet and
the handover is dropped. Patch 1 fixes that ordering, matching arm64 and
x86, and stands on its own regardless of KHO. Patch 2 enables
ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_HANDOVER as "def_bool 64BIT && MMU" rather than
arm64's "def_bool y": ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE is already 64BIT only, and
KEXEC_HANDOVER selects CMA, which depends on MMU. LIVEUPDATE depends only
on KEXEC_HANDOVER, so patch 2 makes it selectable on riscv as well.
Patches 3 and 4 teach the two upstream vmtest runners about riscv64.

This series depends on Greg Thelen's fix to is_kho_boot() [1].

No DT schema changes are needed: linux,kho-fdt / linux,kho-bootmem are
the properties arm64 introduced (commit 274cdcb1c004), and their binding
lives in the external dt-schema repository [2] rather than in
Documentation.

[2] https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/blob/main/dtschema/schemas/chosen.yaml

Changes since v2:
 - Dropped "kho: Do not translate the handover FDT address in
   is_kho_boot()", which Greg Thelen's [1] does as well.
 - Commit messages cut back to the reason for the change.
 - Rebased onto linux-next-20261105 (ddfe51b0a0f5).

Changes since v1:
 - New patch 1: kho: Do not translate the handover FDT address in
   is_kho_boot(), a generic fix the riscv enablement needs.
 - Rebased onto linux-next-20261102 (2637bdec0535).

Test
----
Testing on linux-next-20261105 (ddfe51b0a0f5) with qemu-system-riscv64
(virt, -cpu max, TCG); method and logs under the --- of patches 3 and 4:
  - kho vmtest: "ok 1 KHO succeeded", Totals pass:1 fail:0
  - liveupdate vmtest, all four suites passed one by one (simple,
    multi-session, 500 files, 2000 sessions)
  - riscv defconfig with and without CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER both boot to
    userspace with no oops on the console; builds: riscv defconfig
    (+KHO), rv32_defconfig, arm64 defconfig (+KHO), x86_64 defconfig
    (+KHO)
  - UEFI handover boot (edk2 on pflash over OpenSBI fw_dynamic,
    DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y): with [1] applied, 32 consecutive handovers and no
    BUG; without it the first handover dies in
    linear_mapping_pa_to_va()

Additionally, a workload-continuity test was run outside the selftests:
a counter process was snapshot with criu 4.3, the dump was carried
across the kexec in an LUO-preserved memfd, and criu restored it in the
new kernel. The process resumed with the same PID and open log file and
kept counting from where it was dumped (500007 -> 500008, no lost or
duplicated ticks).

parse_dtb() can reach early_memremap(), whose return value is composed
from the slot table that early_ioremap_setup() fills in - and on RISC-V
that setup ran after the scan, so the mapping came back NULL. The DT
based kexec handover parsing is the first caller to hit this:
kho_populate() cannot map the handover FDT and the handover is dropped.

Run early_ioremap_setup() before parse_dtb(), as arm64 and x86 already
do.

The generic handover paths are already in place on RISC-V: the outgoing
kernel publishes the handover FDT and the bootmem list in /chosen of the
DTB built by of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt(), and the incoming kernel
picks both up while scanning that node. Only the architecture symbol is
missing.

Set it to 64BIT && MMU: ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE is already 64BIT only,
and KEXEC_HANDOVER selects CMA, which depends on MMU.

Nit: please change subject either to:
Add support for Kexec HandOver

or 

Add support for KHO

No need to spell out right in the subject.

This is easy if we take it via liveupdate tree :)

Teach the live update vmtest runners about riscv64, so the LUO tests can
be run on this architecture.

LIVEUPDATE depends only on KEXEC_HANDOVER, enabled for riscv64 by the
previous commit, so nothing in the tests stood in the way.
