I am half insulted. kexec is about as ready to merge as it comes... But I do admit the code to safely position the new kernel safely in memory safely is a little large.
And there is not a lot of point in widespread testing of kexec until the drivers get fixed to actually do something when device_shutdown runs. As drivers that don't shutdown properly are a fairly serious issue.
If you are interested I can break out my reboot time hardware bug fixes, and send you those.
