If you want zero cache line cost the only way is to handle that using Mathieu's
inline patch infrastructure. Having a generic notifier type based on that would

probably a good idea.

That is interesting - that sort of error usually points at memory

This patch transforms the kexec page tables setup code from assembler
code to C code in machine_kexec_prepare. This improves readability and
reduces code line number.

Sorry, which infrastructure?
Providing the function and stack to return to? Sure, I could certainly
entertain the
This patch add an architecture specific struct arch_kimage into struct
kimage. Three pointers to page table pages used by kexec are added to
struct arch_kimage. The page tables pages are dynamically allocated in
machine_kexec_prepare instead of statically from BSS segment. This
will save up to 20k
This patchset cleans up page table setup code of kexec on i386.
This patchset is based on 2.6.24-rc5-mm1 and has been tested on i386
with/without PAE enabled.

[This an initial RFC but I'd like to have this patch in before 2.6.24 goes
final as it really breaks this useful feature]
mmiotrace the MMIO access tracer used to reverse engineer binary blobs
used this notifier interface and is planned on being pushed upstream.

No, NCQ can reorder although I recently heard that windows issues

Use the fixup_exception() helper instead of the open-coded
search_extable() users.

introduces fixup_exception() to X86_64.
