+From 03cd81fbca6b91317ec1a7b3b3c09fb8d08f83a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: MIPS: Kexec: Enhance the support
+
+Changes:
+ o Print more information in machine_kexec() for debugging
+ E.g. with this information, the kexec_start_address has been found
+ it was wrong with 64bit kernel / o32 kexec-tools. Which must be
+ fixed later.
+ o Link relocate_kernel.S to a section for future extension
+ This allows more functions can be added for the kexec relocation
+ part even written in C. to add code into that section, you just need
+ to mark your function or data with __kexec or
+ __attribute__((__section__(".__kexec.relocate")))
+
+TODO:
+
+1. Make 64bit kernel / o32|n32|64 kexec-tools works
+
+Fix the user-space kexec-tools, seems the tool only work for 32bit
+machine. So, we need to add 64bit support for it. The address of the
+entry point(kexec_start_address) is wrong and make the "kexec -e" fail.
+the real entry point must be read from the new kernel image by the
+user-space kexec-tools, otherwise, it will not work. The above 64bit
+support tested is 64bit kernel with o32 user-space kexec-tools. The root
+cause may be the different definition of virt_to_phys() and
+phys_to_virt() in the kexec-tools and kernel space for 64bit system /
+o32 kernel.
+

+
+2. Pass the arguments from kexec-tools to the new kernel image
+
+Please refer to: "MIPS: Loongson: Kexec: Pass parameters to new kernel"
