Hello,
I would like to inform you that I can't reply on this thread next week
because of vacation, Thanks for your cooperation.
BTW, I answer the first question:
>Is there plan to support newer kernel?
I'm going to release the next version in July, it will support kernel 4.11.
Thanks,
Atsushi

Hi all,
I am happy to announce the release of kexec-tools 2.0.15.
This is a feature release. It would have coincided with the release of the
v4.11 Linux Kernel, however, due to an oversight on my part is is rather late.
This release can be downloaded from kernel.org:

When System Memory Encryption (SME) is enabled, the physical address
space is reduced. Adjust the x86_phys_bits value to reflect this
reduction.
