+ * a set of structures and helper macros. The layout of these structures is a
+ * stable contract between kernels and is versioned by the KHO_FDT_COMPATIBLE
+ * string.
+ *
+ * The preservation is managed through a main descriptor &struct kho_vmalloc,
+ * which points to a linked list of &struct kho_vmalloc_chunk structures. These
+ * chunks contain the physical addresses of the preserved pages, allowing the
+ * next kernel to reconstruct the vmalloc area with the same content and layout.
+ * Helper macros are also defined for storing and loading pointers within
