The patch titled
Subject: kexec: add restriction on kexec_load() segment sizes

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: kexec: add restriction on kexec_load() segment sizes
I hit the following issue when run trinity in my system. The kernel is
3.4 version, but mainline has the same issue.
The root cause is that the segment size is too large so the kerenl spends
too long trying to allocate a page. Other cases will block until the test
case quits. Also, OOM conditions will occur.
Call Trace:

The patch changes sanity_check_segment_list() to verify that the usage by
all segments does not exceed half of memory.
