438 bool "kexec system call (EXPERIMENTAL)"

440 help
441 kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
442 current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
443 but it is indepedent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
444 you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
445
446 The name comes from the similiarity to the exec system call.
447
448 It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
449 is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
450 initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
451 support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
452 strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.
