From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This is identical to the default case... for now.

- * Kexec supports two types of operation:
+ * Kexec supports three types of operation:
  * - kexec into a regular kernel, very similar to a standard reboot
  *   - KEXEC_TYPE_DEFAULT is used to specify this type
  * - kexec into a special "crash kernel", aka kexec-on-panic
  *   - KEXEC_TYPE_CRASH is used to specify this type
  *   - parts of our system may be broken at kexec-on-panic time
  *     - the code should be kept as simple and self-contained as possible
+ * - Live update into a new Xen, preserving all running domains
+ *   - KEXEC_TYPE_LIVE_UPDATE is used to specify this type
+ *   - Xen performs guest-transparent live migration and stores live
+ *     update state in memory, passing it to the new Xen.
