Hi

A simple question: do I understand it right that at the moment memory for 
new kernel is reserved at boot time? What does it actually mean - this 
memory is not used at all by the system (kernel and user) or only not used 
for certain operations, e.g., DMA, as mentioned in 
arch/i386/kernel/machine_kexec.c? If the latter, I could understand it, 
that if the current kernel crashes, you might not be able to stop DMA 
operations (?). Am I right or is there some other reason?

Thanks
Guennadi
