I think there isn't much code which an be shared, if any.  kexec'ing a
domU and the physical machine are two very different problems.  When
merging both I think the easiest is to simply have two source files
(machine-kexec-xen[0U].c) and some small stub functions which all either
the dom0/hypervisor or domU kexec code.

cheers,
