Rafael J. Wysocki dc6ffa6cd5 kexec_core: Add and update comments regarding the KEXEC_JUMP flow
The KEXEC_JUMP flow is analogous to hibernation flows occurring before
and after creating an image and before and after jumping from the
restore kernel to the image one, which is why it uses the same device
callbacks as those hibernation flows.

Add comments explaining that to the code in question and update an
existing comment in it which appears a bit out of context.

No functional changes.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
