Currently, clients of KHO must manually allocate memory (e.g., via alloc_pages), calculate the page order, and explicitly call kho_preserve_folio(). Similarly, cleanup requires separate calls to unpreserve and free the memory. Introduce a high-level API to streamline this common pattern: - kho_alloc_preserve(size): Allocates physically contiguous, zeroed memory and immediately marks it for preservation. - kho_unpreserve_free(ptr): Unpreserves and frees the memory in the current kernel. - kho_restore_free(ptr): Restores the struct page state of preserved memory in the new kernel and immediately frees it to the page allocator.

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.
