The kernel portion is merged into linux-2.6.23-mm1. According to Andrew's mail "-mm merge plans for 2.6.24", its status is "The infamous misc. Will re-review and will merge basically all of them". http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0710.0/0313.html > Do you still want the kexec-tools portion applied? Yes, I hope so.
