Subject: [PATCH 3/7] ia64, kexec: Unregister MCA handler before kexec
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 15:48:47 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A39E34F.20707@jp.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4A39E247.4030908@jp.fujitsu.com>

We cannot handle machine check errors during kernel transition.
To avoid entering MCA handler from early stage of new kernel, unregister
the entry point from SAL before leave from current kernel.
Then SAL will make all MCAs to warmboot safely.
