From: Raphael Ning <raphning@xxxxxxxxxx> Currently, my_exec() does not expect the Xen KEXEC_CMD_kexec hypercall to return on success, because it assumes that the hypercall always triggers an immediate reboot. However, for Live Update, the hypercall merely schedules the kexec operation and returns; the actual reboot happens asynchronously. [1] Therefore, rework the Xen code path of my_exec() such that it does not treat a successfully processed Live Update request as an error. Also, rephrase the comment above the function to remove ambiguity.
