/proc/device-tree on power6 machines has ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory
node which stores in it the memory representation for most part of the system
memory. This memory was earlier represented in 'memory@' nodes of the device
tree. Following patch series makes kexec-tools aware of this dynamic
reconfiguration memory node. These patches were sent earlier for RFC. In
addition to this, a change in the kernel was also required. The kernel change
has been accepted in powerpc git tree.

Some part of the patch here is re-organization of the existing code to
accommodate dynamic reconf memory.
