+/**
+ * DOC: Live Update Orchestrator ABI
+ *
+ * This header defines the stable Application Binary Interface used by the
+ * Live Update Orchestrator to pass state from a pre-update kernel to a
+ * post-update kernel. The ABI is built upon the Kexec HandOver framework
+ * and uses a Flattened Device Tree to describe the preserved data.
+ *
+ * This interface is a contract. Any modification to the FDT structure, node
+ * properties, compatible strings, or the layout of the `__packed` serialization
+ * structures defined here constitutes a breaking change. Such changes require
+ * incrementing the version number in the relevant `_COMPATIBLE` string to
+ * prevent a new kernel from misinterpreting data from an old kernel.
+ *
+ * Changes are allowed provided the compatibility version is incremented;
+ * however, backward/forward compatibility is only guaranteed for kernels
+ * supporting the same ABI version.
+ *
+ * FDT Structure Overview:
+ * The entire LUO state is encapsulated within a single KHO entry named "LUO".
+ * This entry contains an FDT with the following layout:
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: none
+ *
+ * / {
+ * compatible = "luo-v1";
+ * liveupdate-number = <...>;
+ *
+ * luo-session {
+ * compatible = "luo-session-v1";
+ * luo-session-header = <phys_addr_of_session_header_ser>;
+ * };
+ * };
+ *
+ * Main LUO Node (/):
+ *
+ * - compatible: "luo-v1"
+ * Identifies the overall LUO ABI version.
+ * - liveupdate-number: u64
+ * A counter tracking the number of successful live updates performed.
+ *
+ * Session Node (luo-session):
+ * This node describes all preserved user-space sessions.
+ *
+ * - compatible: "luo-session-v1"
+ * Identifies the session ABI version.
+ * - luo-session-header: u64
+ * The physical address of a `struct luo_session_header_ser`. This structure
+ * is the header for a contiguous block of memory containing an array of
+ * `struct luo_session_ser`, one for each preserved session.
+ *
+ * Serialization Structures:
+ * The FDT properties point to memory regions containing arrays of simple,
+ * `__packed` structures. These structures contain the actual preserved state.
+ *
+ * - struct luo_session_header_ser:
+ * Header for the session array. Contains the total page count of the
+ * preserved memory block and the number of `struct luo_session_ser`
+ * entries that follow.
+ *
+ * - struct luo_session_ser:
+ * Metadata for a single session, including its name and a physical pointer
+ * to another preserved memory block containing an array of
+ * `struct luo_file_ser` for all files in that session.
+ *
+ * - struct luo_file_ser:
+ * Metadata for a single preserved file. Contains the `compatible` string to
+ * find the correct handler in the new kernel, a user-provided `token` for
+ * identification, and an opaque `data` handle for the handler to use.
