This is the new syscall kexec_file_load() declaration/interface. I have reserved the syscall number only for x86_64 so far. Other architectures (including i386) can reserve syscall number when they enable the support for this new syscall. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> CC: <redacted>+.BR KEXEC_FILE_NO_INITRAMFS +Loading initrd/initramfs is optional. Specify this flag if no initramfs +is being loaded. If this flag is set, kernel will ignore the value passed +in
This seems pointless. Why not just pass -1 for initrd_fd to indicate that no initrd is needed? --Andy
