[MINI-OS PATCH 00/12] kexec: add kexec support to Mini-OS



Add basic kexec support to Mini-OS for running in x86 PVH mode.

With this series applied it is possible to activate another kernel
from within Mini-OS.

Right now no Xen related teardown is done (so no reset of grant table,
event channels, PV devices). These should be added via kexec callbacks
which are added as a framework.

This is a major building block for support of Xenstore-stubdom live
update (in fact I've tested the kexec path to work using the PVH
variant of Xenstore-stubdom).

Juergen Gross (12):
  add kexec framework
  Mini-OS: add final kexec stage
  mini-os: add elf.h
  mini-os: analyze new kernel for kexec
  mini-os: kexec: finalize parameter location and size
  mini-os: reserve memory below boundary
  mini-os: kexec: build parameters for new kernel
  mini-os: kexec: move used pages away for new kernel
  Mini-OS: mm: change set_readonly() to change_readonly()
  Mini-OS: kexec: switch read-only area to be writable again
  mini-os: kexec: add kexec callback functionality
  mini-os: kexec: do the final kexec step
