[PATCH 8/8] libxc: add API for kexec hypercall

David Vrabel david.vrabel at citrix.com
Mon Apr 8 14:59:53 EDT 2013


From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel at citrix.com>

Add xc_kexec_exec(), xc_kexec_get_ranges(), xc_kexec_load(), and
xc_kexec_unload().  The load and unload calls require the v2 load and
unload ops.
