Eric,
Can I get an ack on this so we can take this entire series through the SCSI tree?
Thanks!

No huge issues except that patch description is largely uniformitive and
actually wrong. kexec_in_progress is never set at boot/kernel startup.

Good point. How about this instead:
Export kexec_in_progress for use by device drivers and other modules
to optimize shutdown handling during kexec.
Thanks,
