(by Petr Tesarik) 0d3488d > Now, I plan to do the two enhancement for performance, please see below. > > in v1.5.1: > - Minimize the number of cycle > http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2012-October/006864.html > > in v1.5.2: > - Improve the filtering logic > http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2012-June/006441.html I said in another thread as above, but now I plan to include the later into v1.5.1 too because I realized that it's important feature for many users by some comments. So as a next step, I'll merge the two enhancement above and the eppic support onto v1.5.1-beta, it will be v1.5.1-rc and I will release it in Nov 16. TODO for v1.5.1-rc: 1. To minimize the number of cycle I'm doing this now. 2. To add the mem_map array logic (Improve the filtering logic) Hatayama-san, would you re-send the mem_map array patchset based on v1.5.1-beta ? 3. To add the eppic support for security key filtering Aravinda is making v2 patchset now, so I'm waiting for them. Thanks Atsushi Kumagai
