I was wondering about bringing in the printf() code from purgatory and using that to print info about what's going on in the kexec code. The standalone printf() might come in handy in other places; Ex: kgdb stub. If it was in a library it could also be used during kernel decompression to inform on problems occurring, like checksum errors. - -piet |> As I said, this usage is currently unsupported.
