Images are loaded into Xen directly with no kernel involvement. Do not apply until the hypervisor side patches are applied to Xen. Patch 1 is unrelated but kexec wouldn't work for me without it. Not sure why I had problems, perhaps a toolstack specific issue? Patch 2 makes libxc 4.3 mandatory for Xen support. Patch 3-4 removes a use of /proc/iomem in favour of libxc. Patch 5 adds the support for loading, unloading, and exec'ing an image in Xen. This series explicitly drops support for older version of libxc/Xen as supporting kexec on these hypervisors requires kernel support that will never be available upstream. Changes since v1: - Patch from Don Sultz: use libxc for vmcoreinfo. - Use xc_get_max_cpus() to get number of PCPUs. - Enable unload and exec of images.
