I'm happy for the userspace side of things to be added in OE. I have
some reservations about the way the kernel patch is added to the zaurus
code, particularly about the way the kernel commandline is handled from
the broken bootloader and I need to find some time to look at that. I'm
fine with the patch in principle though, I just want it right when its
added (and preferably upstream too, the existing zaurus changes will not
be accepted upstream).

I did try and find the kexec-tools maintainer but got distracted and
never got back to it. Does anyone know who we need to send this to? I
will try and get that done this weekend...

Agreed. I'm sorry I haven't found time to look at this yet, I will try
hard to do so this weekend.
