[OLPC-devel] Kexec limitations?

So skimming the threads I have heard two problem reports
with using kexec at the moment.
1) The general purpose kexec binary is big (about 128KB)
2) With large kernel images (kernel+initramfs) kexec is failing.
3) The crystal lan driver has sometimes has problems.

Are those the only limitations people are aware of with kexec
right now?

I expect I will find a little bit of time to hack on kexec shortly
and if I can address these issues I will.
