lucid.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/kexec-versatile:
qemu-system-arm -m 256 -drive file=lucid.img,media=disk -M versatilepb
-cpu cortex-a8
So booting the same kernel and kexec-loading a vmlinux instead (created
from the vmlinuz bzImage) works!
I can't boot the vmlinux in qemu though.

Bugs,
What I meant in comment #2 was that I can't use qemu-system-arm -kernel
vmlinux ..., this hangs (without even initializing the fb); if I boot
qemu-system-arm with a vmlinuz and kexec the vmlinux, it works.
Summary:
qemu-system-arm: works with vmlinuz, not vmlinux
kexec: works with vmlinux, not

So what remains to be fixed here is kexec on qemu/versatile when an
using a vmlinuz; either it should properly compute the address (not sure
what actually breaks when using a vmlinuz) or it should unconditionally
unpack the vmlinuz into a vmlinux (to save time when kexec -e comes).
