    kexec: support for kexec on panic using new system call · dd5f7260
    Vivek Goyal authored
    This patch adds support for loading a kexec on panic (kdump) kernel usning
    new system call.
    
    It prepares ELF headers for memory areas to be dumped and for saved cpu
    registers.  Also prepares the memory map for second kernel and limits its
    boot to reserved areas only.
