Will be good if you can get this done. Vivek, I worked out some draft patches here: https://github.com/daveyoung/linux/commits/kexec-syscall-cleanup Basiclly I split kexec_file first, then add CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE kconfig option then split kexec_load code from general code. There's a lot of #ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC in kernel source, because CONFIG_KEXEC can be disabled so I changed all kernel general and x86 #ifdef to use CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE if necessary. For other arches dependent code with #ifdef I did not change anything other than the new Kconfig option. It will works because only x86 support KEXEC_FILE. Please take a look if you have time, if this is not what you want please let me know. I will have no time this week, only did building test, will do more test next week, if everything is ok I can send out the patches to list for review.
