kexec can use it because it's in tree. But I don't think using it by out of tree stuff is a good idea. e.g. assuming we need a new field. How would we extend this? There is no version number or anything to detect this. For in tree code it can be just updated. But weirdo-EFI-boot loader cannot. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
