It is my regret that I haven't had a chance to pay more attention to the
kexec related issues lately.  I am in the process of working down
the size of my todo list but for things seem to keep having additional
corner cases that crop up.

As I recall last time I worked on a relocatable kernel I had the basic
work done and then ran out of time before I could merge it.

I do believe in using bzImage but I also believe in using a standard
format in a standard way if at all possible instead of renting the wheel.
So since bzImage cannot express relocation I prefer ELF.  That said
my work makes bzImage a valid dynamic ELF executable. :)

What I do have time to do is post the code I worked on.  If nothing
else it should be a good source of ideas.

The code should be available shortly at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/linux-2.6-reloc.git

Hopefully after OLS I will have a few more minutes to follow up on this.

Eric
