This is really neat! It patched pretty cleanly against the latest bk (this
stuff should get into -mm asap to help prevent it from getting stale) and my
new boot got this far:
[root@flatearth ~]# kexec -e
Starting new kernel
Linux version 2.6.10-rc2 (jbarnes@tomahawk.engr.sgi.com) (gcc version 3.4.1)
#1SMP Wed Nov 17 14:34:56 PST 2004
EFI v1.02 by SGI: SALsystab=0x3002514a60 ACPI 2.0=0x3002514b60
kexec'd kernel: Not virtualizing EFI
Number of logical nodes in system = 1
Number of memory chunks in system = 1
This may be due to the lack of args though, I'll fix it up so that the
console= stuff is passed in correctly and then debug it further.
Thanks,
Jesse
