I have ported the original patch I had done for kexec on ia64 on 2.6.8 kernel and fixed a few bugs in the original patch. Attached is a patch for kernel 2.6.14-rc4. It works with normal kexec reboot on an HP rx2600. I am now working on adding support for crash kexec. I am also working on kexec on INIT which I currently have working on 2.6.10 kernel. I am porting it to 2.6.14-rc kernel. Attached patch needs to be applied on top of iomem and efi_memmapwalk patches already in ia64 test tree (these patches attached as well for those who may need them).
