[oe] [PATCH] kexec / ATAGs

[Uli Luckas]

Hi,
I had a problem with kexec on ARM not setting up my memory in the new
kernel [1].
In the above thread two solutions have been proposed, which both were not 
sufficient for my special case. 
The first patch by Thomas Kunze did not set up memory as required by my board, 
the second patch by Mike Westerhof did set up memory (and other ATAGs) but did 
not allow passing of a new command line.

Attached you will find a PATCH to the kexec utility which sets up ATAGs to the 
new kernel.
It sets up ATAGs for the current memory configuration as found in /proc/iomem 
and ATAGs.
Aditionally it sets up ATAGs for a kernel command line and passes an initrd 
image if requested.

This patch applies on top of [2].

I'd like to push my patch upstream but this requires [2] to be upstream.
Could the original author push his patch (or the combined patches) upstream 
please? I'll add a signed-off line below to make it clear, that passing on my 
patch is ok.

Best regards
Uli Luckas
