Hi Baoquan,
The hp_action member is initialized to 0 in do_image_alloc_init(). I've
mapped KEXEC_CRASH_HP_NONE onto 0 on purpose.

But the use of image->hp_action = KEXEC_CRASH_HP_NONE is to actually
delineate that a hotplug event handling has completed. You can see
imae->hp_action set to hp_action to capture what the triggering event
was, as passed into this function.

I will go ahead and set image->hp_action = KEXEC_CRASH_HP_NONE; explicitly
in do_kimage_alloc_init(), as that is done for the other crash hotplug members.

Thanks!
eric
