kexec-tools 2.0.12-rc1

Hi all,

I am happy to announce the release of kexec-tools 2.0.12-rc1.

This is an incremental feature pre-release.

So long as no serious problems arise I intend to release kexec-tools 2.0.12 in a weeks time. Testing of 2.0.12-rc1 would be greatly appreciated.

I do not have any outstanding changes for 2.0.12 at this time. And I would like to only accept bug fixes at this time and take take features patches once 2.0.12 has been released.

The pre-release can be downloaded from kernel.org:

	https://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools-2.0.12-rc1.tar.xz
	https://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/kexec/

I have also tagged it in git:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools.git

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to kexec.

Hi Simon!

I am confused about this: I got 'kexec/arch/ppc64/include/arch/ftb.h' in the directory cloned with git, while 'ftb.h' is absent in the corresponding directory decompressed from the tar.gz you provided above.

All the best!
