Ok, will update.

Thanks for the rewriting. Will use.

Yes, but till now I only reproduced this on z420 so how about below:
"Currently only handles smbios which is necessary for some firmware
implementation."

It might be general but also might only related to some version of
the general firmware implementation, it's hard to say...

Yes, nested kexec need this.

Will use above one.
