Yes, it was. I'm removing them in kexec-tools patches for efi runtime support. Correct myself about esdata, for old kernels there's no setup_data type for efi so parse_efi_setup will not be called, thus there will be no effect with passing new setup_data because nobody use it? _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
