[PATCH 0/2] Make kexec work with ibmvscsi/ibmveth

[Michael Ellerman]

On our Power5 we have vscsi and veth installed. When trying to kexec a new
kernel the vscsi and veth initialisation fails because the previous kernel
didn't clean up properly and as far as the Hypervisor is concerned is still
connected.

The fix is to harden the driver initialisation routines to cope with this
condition and free the resource and retry.

With these patches I can kexec happily on our Power5 LPAR.

cheers
