[PATCH v7 10/12] x86: add xloadflags bit for efi runtime support on kexec

2013-12-20 Thread Dave Young
Old kexec-tools can not load new kernel. The reason is kexec-tools do not fill efi_info in x86 setup header previously, thus efi failed to initialize. In new kexec-tools it will by default fill efi_info and pass other efi required infomation to 2nd kernel so kexec kernel efi initialization can succ
