[PATCH v6 14/14] Documentation: KHO: Add memblock bindings

[Changyuan Lyu <changyuanl@google.com>]

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>

We introduced KHO into Linux: A framework that allows Linux to pass
metadata and memory across kexec from Linux to Linux. KHO reuses fdt
as file format and shares a lot of the same properties of firmware-to-
Linux boot formats: It needs a stable, documented ABI that allows for
forward and backward compatibility as well as versioning.

As first user of KHO, we introduced memblock which can now preserve
memory ranges reserved with reserve_mem command line options contents
across kexec, so you can use the post-kexec kernel to read traces from
the pre-kexec kernel.

This patch adds memblock schemas similar to "device" device tree ones to
a new kho bindings directory. This allows us to force contributors to
document the data that moves across KHO kexecs and catch breaking change
during review.
