[PATCH 2/9] kexec: add public interface for improved load/unload sub-ops
David Vrabel

Wed Nov 6 09:49:39 EST 2013
From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel at citrix.com>
Add replacement KEXEC_CMD_load and KEXEC_CMD_unload sub-ops to the
kexec hypercall. These new sub-ops allow a priviledged guest to
provide the image data to be loaded into Xen memory or the crash
region instead of guests loading the image data themselves and
providing the relocation code and metadata.
The old interface is provided to guests requesting an interface
version prior to 4.4.
Bump __XEN_LATEST_INTERFACE_VERSION__ to 0x00040400.
