When we soft-reboot (eg, kexec) from one kernel into the next, we need to ensure that we enter the new kernel in the same processor mode as when we were entered, so that (eg) the new kernel can install its own hypervisor - the old kernel's hypervisor will have been overwritten. In order to do this, we need to pass a flag to cpu_reset() so it knows what to do, and we need to modify the kernel's own hypervisor stub to allow it to handle a soft-reboot. As we are always guaranteed to install our own hypervisor if we're entered in HYP32 mode, and KVM will have moved itself out of the way on kexec/normal reboot, we can assume that our hypervisor is in place when we want to kexec, so changing our hypervisor API should not be a problem.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
