[Xen-devel] [PATCH 01/11] kexec: add kexec_is_loaded function

[Olaf Hering <olaf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Add a new function kexec_is_loaded to be used by subsequent changes for
kexec in Xen HVM guests with PV drivers loaded.

A kexec reboot in a HVM guest needs to unregister all resources such as
xenstore watches and virqs, otherwise the kexec kernel can not bind to
these resources again. But the unregister only needs to happen during a
kexec boot because the guest remains the same from the Xen point of
view. A normal reboot will shutdown and destroy the entire guest with
all its resources, then the guest will start again with a different
domain_id number. So doing all the unregister work would only delay
normal reboots.
