Need for KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT flag ?

[Indraneel Mukherjee]

Hi,

The file kernel/kexec.c (~ line 1001 in linux-2.6.30) has this code

------snip----

 if (flags & KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT)
            image->preserve_context = 1;

------snip----

Will this ever be true? The flag KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT is not even defined
in kexec-tools-2.0.0.

Consequently, all the code inside the condition  if(image->preserve_context)
  is also useless?

Am i missing something here?

Regards,
Indro
