This patch adds an option "--reuse-cmdline" for people that are lazy
in typing --append="$(cat /proc/cmdline)", which will directly use the
command line of the currently running system.

Use kexec's existing infrastrucutre for supporting initrd loading.
The initrd image is loaded into a buffer after the dtb and its details
passed through the device tree, so it's supported on newer platforms
that make use of the device tree passed from kexec.

Kexec for MIPS currently does not support loading devicetrees, unless
they are embedded in the kernel elf file.
Add an option to either pass a new dtb file or - if not specified - to
be generated from existing device tree on the device. As new generic
platforms require a dtb to be passed separately this is required for
such platforms and will be ignored by the kernel otherwise.
Generic kexec infrastructure for dtb support is used.

At the moment only commandline handling is implemented and there is
nothing elf-specific about it, so all of the commandline parsing logic
can be moved to common arch code.
getopt() options are moved to KEXEC_ARCH_OPTIONS macro (as many
platforms currently do) to avoid unnecessary duplication.

The argument parsing is currently a bit broken as main()'s getopt_long()
knows nothing about either the architecture-specific options or, even
more specifically, the architecture-and-loader-specific options.
This patch introduces new #defines for all architectures,
KEXEC_ALL_OPTIONS and KEXEC_ALL_OPT_STR. These contain all possible
options for a given build, and the getopt_long() passes in main() and
arch_process_options() will now recognise arch- and loader-specific
options; these will not be re-ordered in argv[], there is no confusion
over which argv[] entry is the kernel filename, and using '--opt=foo' and
'--opt foo' both work.
All architectures have command line options (and #define OPT_BLAHs)
consolidated into their include/arch/option.h files. x86_64 builds
parts of i386/ as well, so now both share a single option.h file (with
a symlink).

[ Reposted with correct linux-mips address ]
Hi,
this patch switches the mips support in kexec-tools around a little bit.
All the files and directories containing "mipsel" have been renamed
to contain "mips" instead.
This is kind of consistent with the way that ARCH=mips in the kernel
works for both big and little endian.
After a small amount of tweaking, which is also included in this patch, the
code compiles and works fine for big endian mips as well as small endian
mips. All you need to do is compile using an appropriate compiler.
That is to say, kexec-tools's build system doesn't need to
be told about which endienness the code is being compiled for.
I have added kept mipsel as a supported "architecture" via ./configure,
though its just an alias for mips now. This is consistent with how
other architectures such as sh are treated. But I'm happy to remove
mipsel from ./configure if the mips people want that.
I tested this patch using qemu and the 2.6.24.3 tag of the mips-2.6 git
tree compiled for the qemu machine type for both big and little endian.
The qemu machine type has subsequently been removed, and kexec-tools
needs some work in order to function with qemu - as far as I understand
the way the boot parameters are passed needs to be fixed, likely
in purgatory. However, this is not related to the changes
introduced in this patch.
I intend to merge this patch into kexec-tools-testing if
no alarm bells are sounded.
