Previously the e820_table_kexec[] was exported to sysfs since kexec-tools uses
the memmap entries to prepare the e820 table for the new kernel.
The following commit, ~8 years ago, introduced e820_table_firmware[] and changed
the behavior to export the firmware table instead:
12df216c61c8 ("x86/boot/e820: Introduce the bootloader provided e820_table_firmware[] table")
Originally the kexec_file_load and kexec_load syscalls both used e820_table_kexec[].
Since the sysfs exported entries are from e820_table_firmware[] people
now need to tune both tables for kexec.
Restore the old behavior so the kexec_load and kexec_file_load syscalls work with
only one table update. The e820_table_firmware[] is used by hibernation kernel
code and it works without the sysfs exporting. Also remove the SEV
e820_table_firmware[] updating code.
Also update the code comments here and drop the comments about setup_data
reservation since it is not needed any more after this change was made
a year ago:
fc7f27cda843 ("x86/kexec: Do not update E820 kexec table for setup_data")
