Hi Andrew,
I am wondering how this final kexec patch should be routed. Issue here is that
this patch depends on David Howells's PKCS7 and PEFILE patches. Which are now
sitting in security tree. (security/next).
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security.git/log/?h=next
Not sure how to handle this dependency issue.
Thanks
Vivek
