Subject: [PATCH 0/2] reset xenstore watches to fix kexec in Xen PVonHVM guests


The following series improves kexec in a Xen PVonHVM guest.

It is available via git:

 git://github.com/olafhering/linux.git xen-kexec-XS_RESET_WATCHES-3.0

A new xenstored command XS_RESET_WATCHES has been added in
xen-unstable.hg changeset 23839:42a45baf037d. The command removes all
watches and transactions for the guest. The following patches make use
of the new command to wipe all existing watches during startup.

  xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: add xs_reset_watches to shutdown watches from
