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
server."

>     works because '/memory at 0' node is read after drconf memory and
>     that correctly sets rmo_base and rmo_top from '/memory at 0' node.
>     While in the kexec'ed kernel, '/ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory'
>     is read after '/memory at xxx' nodes and this incorrectly sets both

> 
>     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.
