My patch was out-of-tree so it's rotted.  I've been waiting for various other 
things to get sorted before it's worth updating it again (updating to a 
kernel that actually has the kexec system call, one or two other patches).

The patch wouldn't allow kexec for dom0 anyhow.  Enabling kdump for dom0 would 
be useful.  I think there was somebody considering looking at this in the 
future...

Cheers,
Mark
