commit 233c1e6c319c ("kexec_file: drop weak attribute from
arch_kexec_apply_relocations[_add]") is also contained in the tree.
This currently happens in next-20220527.

Prepare the RISC-V similar to the s390 adaption done in 233c1e6c319c.
This is safe to do on top of the riscv change even without the change to
arch_kexec_apply_relocations.

LGTM, you could send a fixup patch to riscv, thanks.

Ok, here comes a patch with a generic commit log.
@riscv people: If you prefer, squash it into 838b3e28488f.

Sorry, just saw this after I sent my version of the fix. They're the same, but do you mind sending a full-on patch so I can merge it?


Best regards
Uwe
