[PATCH 0/4] kexec-tools-for-ppc64

[R Sharada]

Hello,
	After the initial RFC on the kexec-tools for ppc64, 
the hacks were cleaned up and this patchset now provides a 
much cleaner kexec-tools support for ppc64. 

The patch set includes the following:
	- create_flat_devtree.patch
	- get_memory_ranges.patch
	- build_v2wrap_from_purgatory.patch
	- basic_kexec_tools_for_ppc64.patch

- vmlinux is the accepted elf image for the kernel
- the v2wrap.S trampoline is built from within purgatory,
though we still use a simple add_buffer call to load it
- the tools can load a ramdisk, with a --ramdisk option
- the valid range of memory for locate_hole to use, is 
generated from various properties within /proc/device-tree
- the configure script was modified to build 64-bit as 
default for ppc64
- added an ld option to build purgatory as 64-bit (I am not
sure if we need this. Can perhaps be cleaned up)

The patch is against the kexec-tools-1.101 tarball. 
It however requires the kexec-tools malloc problem patch to
be applied on kexec-tools-1.101 tarball, which can be found
here -

The patch also requires the following patch in the kernel to
be able to obtain the valid memory ranges for kexec-tools to
work. The patch for 2.6.14-rc1 is here -

Usage Syntax:
-------------
kexec -l <vmlinux-image> --ramdisk=<ramdisk-image> 
(ramdisk is optional) loads the segments (vmlinux, 
v2wrap+devtree, and ramdisk if provided in commanline)

kexec -e boots the system kexec-style

Testing:
--------
The patchset has been tested on power4 p630 and power5 p550 boxes (lpar and non-lpar modes) and seen to be working.

Request review, testing, comments on the patches. 

Thanks and Regards,
Sharada
