[PATCH] Fix kexec call on MIPS platform

[PATCH] Fix kexec call on MIPS platform

[Adrian Byszuk]

Dear developers,

This kernel patch fixes problems with kexec call on some devices.
I tested it on Asus WL-500gP v2. I suppose it would behave well on all MIPS 
machines.
Applicable to 2.6.32 and 2.6.33

Hi everyone!

I'd like to know if somebody at least had a look on this patch?
If it won't get upstream, then I'll try to make it openWRT specific at least.
Simple answer like no/not yet/yes, applied  will be enough.

Kind regards
Adrian
