There are a couple of future work items related to kexec/kdump: - Teach kexec-tools/kexec_file_load() to not place the kexec kernel/initrd onto virtio-mem added memory. - Teach kexec-tools/kdump to consider a bigger number of memory resources for dumping. In general, as virtio-mem adds a lot of memory resources, we might want to tweak performance in that area as well. Future stuff. So I suggest queuing this. If you need a resend, please let me know. Cheers! -- Thanks, David / dhildenb
