Earlier we agreed that /sbin/kexec should call kexec syscall with
special flag. However, during work on Xen kexec/kdump v3 patch
I stated that this is insufficient because e.g. crash_kexec()
should execute different code in case of use of firmware support too.
Sadly syscall does not save this fla...

[PATCH v3 00/11] xen: Initial kexec/kdump implementation
Hi,
This set of patches contains initial kexec/kdump implementation for Xen v3.
Currently only dom0 is supported, however, almost all infrustructure
required for domU support is ready.
Jan Beulich suggested to merge Xen x86 assembler code with baremetal x86 code.
This could simplify and reduce a bit size of kernel code. However, this solution
requires some changes in baremetal x86 code. First of
