CONFIG_EFI_RUNTIME_MAP needs to be enabled in order for kexec to be able to provide the required information about the EFI runtime mappings to the incoming kernel, regardless of whether kexec_load() or kexec_file_load() is being used. Without this information, kexec boot in EFI mode is not possible. The CONFIG_EFI_RUNTIME_MAP option is currently directly configurable if CONFIG_EXPERT is enabled, so that it can be turned on for debugging purposes even if KEXEC is not enabled. However, the upshot of this is that it can also be disabled even when it shouldn't. So tweak the Kconfig declarations to avoid this situation. Reported-by: Kirill A.

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 Restructured Text 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.
