Hi Michael,

Sorry, I did not notice that. I will CC linux-api@ in next version of
patches in patches which introduce new systemcal..

Also, is there some draft man page for this new system call?

No, there is none yet. In fact I don't see a man page for old kexec
system call either kexec_load().

Is this not what you are meaning:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/kexec_load.2.html
?
(It probably could be improved...)

Do you want me to write man page for this new syscall?

These days, that's considered a desirable accompaniment to new 
syscall proposals.

Cheers,

Michael
