/**
* DOC: Live Update Orchestrator (LUO)
*
* Live Update is a specialized, kexec-based reboot process that allows a
* running kernel to be updated from one version to another while preserving
* the state of selected resources and keeping designated hardware devices
* operational. For these devices, DMA activity may continue throughout the
* kernel transition.
*
* While the primary use case driving this work is supporting live updates of
* the Linux kernel when it is used as a hypervisor in cloud environments, the
* LUO framework itself is designed to be workload-agnostic. Live Update
* facilitates a full kernel version upgrade for any type of system.
*
* For example, a non-hypervisor system running an in-memory cache like
* memcached with many gigabytes of data can use LUO. The userspace service
* can place its cache into a memfd, have its state preserved by LUO, and
* restore it immediately after the kernel kexec.
*
* Whether the system is running virtual machines, containers, a
* high-performance database, or networking services, LUO's primary goal is to
* enable a full kernel update by preserving critical userspace state and
* keeping essential devices operational.
*
* The core of LUO is a mechanism that tracks the progress of a live update,
* along with a callback API that allows other kernel subsystems to participate
* in the process. Example subsystems that can hook into LUO include: kvm,
* iommu, interrupts, vfio, participating filesystems, and memory management.
*
* LUO uses Kexec Handover to transfer memory state from the current kernel to
* the next kernel. For more details see
* Documentation/core-api/kho/concepts.rst.

* fail with -EBUSY until the first process closes its file descriptor.
* This singleton model simplifies state management by preventing conflicting
