To do kexec on PV guests is there a dependency on support from the dom0?
e.g. if we recreated your patches and merged them into 3.12 and booted on a XenServer from a few years ago would it work?
What I want to do is use kexec on existing public cloud providers, that use Xen, like AWS or Rackspace.
Thanks,
Brandon
