This would be ia64 kexec.

I was thinking more along the lines that it would be nice if Zou Nan hai
sent incremental patches against Tony's tree. But he probably gets more
testing by sending out a apply and forget patch against 2.6.18-rc4. And
certainly merging ia64 kexec into Linus' tree would be a nice resolution
to this problem.

At OLS Tony spoke about what state he would like to see kexec in before
it is merged into Linus' tree. Basically reports that it works on
at least a cople of different vendor's gear. That is proving harder
than one might have hoped. But the code is marked as experimental,
and if pushing it into Linus's tree both makes patch management a bit
easier, and potentially gives the code better testing, then it seems
like a good idea to me.

P.S. The address these patches was sent from was an error, sorry about that.
