We support that only for the purpose of allowing old boot loaders that are not DT aware to load kernels that require DT. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't have it. I don't see why we should propagate this hack to other systems such as kexec, especially when they have native DT support. -- Russell King _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
