kexec_file_load() on powerpc doesn't support kdump kernels yet, so it
returns -ENOTSUPP in that case.
I've recently learned that this errno is internal to the kernel and
isn't supposed to be exposed to userspace. Therefore, change to
-EOPNOTSUPP which is defined in an uapi header.
This does indeed make kexec-tools happier. Before the patch, on
ppc64le:
# ~bauermann/src/kexec-tools/build/sbin/kexec -s -p /boot/vmlinuz
kexec_file_load failed: Unknown error 524
After the patch:
# ~bauermann/src/kexec-tools/build/sbin/kexec -s -p /boot/vmlinuz
kexec_file_load failed: Operation not supported

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
