[PATCH v2] kexec: implemented XEN KEXEC STATUS to determine if an image is loaded

Eric DeVolder eric.devolder at oracle.com
Fri Jan 20 09:03:54 PST 2017


Instead of the scripts having to poke at various fields we can
provide that functionality via the -S parameter.

Returns 0 if the payload is loaded. Can be used in combination
with -l or -p to get the state of the proper kexec image.
