John Crispin 91c07334d8 generic: improve kexec support of MIPS. - Allow --command-line parameters of kexec-tools be parsed and used by the kernel. - For malta machine, mark kernel code and kernel data segments as "System RAM" instead of "reserved" in /proc/iomem, otherwise kexec-tools will complain that program segments in ELF kernel file are invalid.

README

This Malta target is intended to be used with the Qemu emulator. It can be used
to prototype an OpenWrt firmware for MIPS processors. One could also use it to
troubleshoot MIPS applications without access to real hardware.

To use the images built by OpenWrt with qemu, use the following commands:

For the little-endian image:
qemu-system-mipsel -kernel bin/malta/openwrt-malta-le-vmlinux-initramfs.elf -nographic -m 256

For the big-endian image:
qemu-system-mips -kernel bin/malta/openwrt-malta-be-vmlinux-initramfs.elf -nographic -m 256

and enjoy the system bootin.
