Patch: linux-2.5.42/kernel/sys.c - warm reboot should not suspend devices
I wrote to Eric Biederman:
Quoted 3 lines
kmonte and
sys_kexecskip the BIOS reset code and therefore
may need to do more elaborate shutdown, but please do not saddle the normal reboot case with [that].
Let me add that I would be quite happy to see the common code
in sys_reboot moved into a shared exported routine that sys_kexec and kmonte could use, so that they would automatically track changes to that procedure rather than requiring maintenance of a duplicate copy of that code.
