[parisc-linux] Kexec for pa-risc

[Bruno Vidal]

	Hi,
I'm still looking to speed up dump creation. One solution (and with
less re-work) is to dump directly in memory, mark pages as
reserved, reboot a brand new kernel with an add-on to still
have dump pages marked as reserved (without clearing memory,
by-passing bios, etc...), and then use the standart
disk driver to flush the dump, and then release the pages.

I think that main part of the job has already been done with
kexec, does someone already looked at it to port on pa-linux ?

     Cheers.
