Patches are at http://www.suse.de/~kraxel/patches/, kexec is still at
proof-of-concept state.  You can already play with it, but it has to
many remaining issues to be solved before it can be concidered
production quality.

My current #1 priority is the domain builder rework though (domU kexec
support depends on that one), not kexec/kboot itself.

cheers,

  Gerd
