[ANNOUNCE] kexec-tools 2.0.11-rc1

[ANNOUNCE] kexec-tools 2.0.11-rc1

[Simon Horman]

Hi all,

I am happy to announce the release of kexec-tools 2.0.11-rc1.

This is an incremental feature pre-release.

So long as no serious problems arise I intend to release kexec-tools 2.0.11
shortly after the release of the v4.3 kernel, which I expect to occur in
the next week or so.  As such testing of 2.0.11-rc1 would be greatly
appreciated.

I do not have any outstanding changes for 2.0.11 at this time.
And I would like to only accept bug fixes at this time and take take
features patches once 2.0.11 has been released.

The pre-release can be downloaded from kernel.org:

	https://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools-2.0.11-rc1.tar.xz
	https://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kexec/

I have also tagged it in git:

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools.git

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to kexec.

As I previously reported, "ppc64: purgatory: Reset primary cpu endian to big-
endian" breaks book3e, so can http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/527048/ be 
considered for this release?

Yes of course, sorry for not taking more note of that.

Would it be possible to get a review, e.g. from Michael?

I pinged Michael again on the original patch, and CCed him and Samuel and the 
PPC list here.  If they still don't respond, and you still don't want to put 
the fix in without their input, then could you revert the broken patch?
