Has anything even changed with kexec? Or is this an issue that has |
| 29 |
been an issue for many years in kexec, that will suddenly become an |

issue in genkernel? In that case it is news from a genkernel |
| 31 |
perspective, and something anybody with a correctly-booting system |
| 32 |
fixed a long time ago if they're using kexec. |
