Re: [Xen-devel] Re: [PATCH]: kexec: framework and i386

Hi,

I'll send a patch for dom0 image extract (from kdump) script.

Update is..
- get register values in dom0 context from kdump's ELF Core PT_NOTE header.
- get cr3 register value in context info from vcpu.
- now you can look vmlinux symbols from gdbserver-xen.

Todo:
- It support only single processor now.
- ELF Core output.
