[KEXEC][2.5.67] kexec for 2.5.67 available

[Andy Pfiffer]

Eric,

I have a patch set available for kexec for 2.5.67.  I have checked it on
the 3 different systems (listed below), and all worked as expected.
There were no changes, and the previous version of kexec-tools worked
without modification.

The patches are available for download from OSDL's patch lifecycle
manager ( http://www.osdl.org/cgi-bin/plm/ ).

Patch stack for kexec for 2.5.67:

        kexec usemm change (allowed 2-way to work for me):
        http://www.osdl.org/cgi-bin/plm?module=patch_info&patch_id=1762

        optional change to defconfig (sets CONFIG_KEXEC=y):
        http://www.osdl.org/cgi-bin/plm?module=patch_info&patch_id=1763

The patches are also available (with matching kexec-tools-1.8) from this
link pending a crontab update:
