This patch changes things around so the page offset is handed to purgatory by the kexecing kernel. Note that this changes the ABI between purgatory (part of kexec-tools) and the kernel kexec code. There are both kernel and kexec-tools portions of this patch. However, they are both quite short and IMHO simple. -- -- Horms H: http://www.vergenet.net/~horms/ W: http://www.valinux.co.jp/en/
