Simon,
Could you fix the permissions on the tar files. Trying to download
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools-2.0.2.tar.gz
results in "Forbidden
You don't have permission to
access /pub/linux/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools-2.0.2.tar.gz on this

> kexec jump support for x86_64
>
> x86_64 specific support, including crash memory range and purgatory setup.
> Corresponding kernel support has been merged already.
>
> Together with the kexec jump features in Linux kernel, kexec jump can
> be used for following:
>
> - A simple hibernation implementation without ACPI support. You can
> kexec a hibernating kernel, save the memory image of original system
> and shutdown the system. When resuming, you restore the memory image
> of original system via ordinary kexec load then jump back.
>
> - Kernel/system debug through making system snapshot. You can make
> system snapshot with kexec/kdump, jump back, do some thing and make
> another system snapshot.
>
> - Cooperative multi-kernel/system. With kexec jump, you can switch
> between several kernels/systems quickly without boot process except
> the first time. This appears like swap a whole kernel/system out/in.
>
> - A general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning
> off). This can be used to invoke BIOS code under Linux.

> add support for loading lzma compressed kernels
>
> This patch allows one to load a lzma compressed kernel using kexec -l.
> As I wanted the lzma code to be very similar to the existing

> from the cpio lzma support. Tested on my x86 laptop using the
> following commands:
>
> lzma e bzImage bzImage.lzma
> kexec -l bzImage.lzma
>
> Having lzma support is particularly useful on some embedded
> systems on which we have the kernel already lzma compressed
> and available on a mtd partition.
