[Xen-ia64-devel] Kexec

[Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@xxxxxx>]

Hi Simon,

   I'm sure you're off on holiday by now, but I've applied most of your
patches for kexec.  I left out the EFI remapping and the ACPI table
save/restore.  As we discussed in a separate email, this should allow UP
Xen-to-Xen kexecs.  I haven't tested kexec'ing, but all the existing
functionality and performance still appears to be intact.  I'd like to
investigate the id/eid virtualization before added in the ACPI table
support.  I do have a system that doesn't boot w/o the id/eid munging.
It seems like I've looked at this recently, but I can't remember enough
details.  On the EFI remapping side, I'd like to make sure we're not
introducing a security hole before going down that path.  Thanks for all
your hard work on this, hopefully having the bulk of the patches in-tree
will help out.  Thanks,

        Alex
