kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
 	  current kernel, and to start another kernel.  It is like a reboot
hmmm why is kexec incompatible with xen? Don't you want to support 
crash
dumps from guests?
There are kexec patches for Xen which haven't yet been merged into our

control VM, without the guest's active involvement.
