Patch series "Several KHO Hotfixes".
Three unrelated fixes for Kexec Handover.
This patch (of 3):
Lockdep shows the following warning:
INFO: trying to register non-static key. The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe you didn't initialize this object before use? turning off the locking correctness validator.

This is becase xa has its own lock, that is not initialized in xa_load_or_alloc.
Modifiy __kho_preserve_order(), to properly call xa_init(&new_physxa->phys_bits);
