James, this is a 2.6.15 candidate...it makes ibmvscsi work correctly with the recent set of kexec patches that went in. This is based on work by Michael Ellerman, who chased this initially. He validated that it works during kexec. Handle kexec correctly in ibmvscsi. During kexec the adapter will not get cleaned up correctly, so we may need to reset it to make it sane again.
