+ help
+ kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
+ current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
+ but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
+ you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
+
+ The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
+
+ It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
+ is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
+ initially work for you. As of this writing the exact hardware
+ interface is strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be
+ made.
