[PATCH] fix kexec asm

From: Chris Mason
Date: Tue Mar 07 2006 - 21:32:51 EST


From: Michael Matz <matz@xxxxxxx>

While testing kexec and kdump we hit problems where the new kernel would
freeze or instantly reboot. The easiest way to trigger it was to kexec a
kernel compiled for CONFIG_M586 on an athlon cpu. Compiling
for CONFIG_MK7 instead would work fine.

The patch below fixes a few problems with the kexec inline asm.
