From 17f557e5b5d43a2af66c969f6560ac7105020672 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K.Prasad" Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2009 23:46:03 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] hw-breakpoints: cleanup HW Breakpoint registers before kexec This patch disables Hardware breakpoints before doing a 'kexec' on the machine so that the cpu doesn't keep debug registers values which would be out of sync for the new image.
