Hi,
This series contains some updates for the Kexec Handover (KHO) and Live
update entries. Patch 1 updates the maintainers list and adds the
liveupdate tree. Patches 2 and 3 clean up stale files in the list.
Regards,
Pratyush Yadav

I have been helping out with reviewing and developing KHO. I would also
like to help maintain it. Change my entry from R to M for KHO and live
update. Alex has been inactive for a while, so to avoid over-crowding
the KHO entry and to keep the information up-to-date, move his entry
from M to R.
We also now have a tree for KHO and live update at liveupdate/linux.git
where we plan to start maintaining those subsystems and start queuing
the patches. List that in the entries as well.

The KHO entry already includes include/linux/kho. Listing its
subdirectory is redundant.
