kexec-tools:

Work is being done on making kexec-tools xen aware. For now, use version
529ad18980e297efc6ac2839c82afc24eccdcd1f of the kexec-tools git tree.

* use the kexec-tools-testing or apply the following patch to kexec-tools:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/horms/kexec-tools-testing.git;a=commit;h=0d5e71fbcb114b5a67ef7277dbad206915a20df2

** only certain versions of kexec-tools-testing tree work properly.

Changes:

20061108 - Release 20061108 for xen-unstable-12281

- Minor crash note fixes
- Crash notes are now cleared on non-present cpus.
- Crash notes are now 32-bit aligned - same as Linux.

I feel that the patches are in a good and stable state. Please let me know if
there is anything I can do to help out with the merge.

Thanks,

/ magnus
