/* This file describes the Kexec / Kdump hypercall interface for Xen.
*
* Kexec under vanilla Linux allows a user to reboot the physical machine
* into a new user-specified kernel. The Xen port extends this idea
* to allow rebooting of the machine from dom0. When kexec for dom0
* is used to reboot, both the hypervisor and the domains get replaced
* with some other kernel. It is possible to kexec between vanilla
* Linux and Xen and back again. Xen to Xen works well too.
*
* The hypercall interface for kexec can be divided into three main
* types of hypercall operations:
*
* 1) Range information:
* This is used by the dom0 kernel to ask the hypervisor about various
* address information. This information is needed to allow kexec-tools
* to fill in the ELF headers for /proc/vmcore properly.
*
* 2) Load and unload of images:
* There are no big surprises here, the kexec binary from kexec-tools
* runs in userspace in dom0. The tool loads/unloads data into the
* dom0 kernel such as new kernel, initramfs and hypervisor. When
* loaded the dom0 kernel performs a load hypercall operation, and
* before releasing all page references the dom0 kernel calls unload.
*
* 3) Kexec operation:
* This is used to start a previously loaded kernel.
