Running on my 4-way P3 test box (just SMP, not NUMA) kexec_test
prints this:

Synchronizing SCSI caches:
Shutting down devices
Starting new kernel
kexec_test 1.8 starting...
eax: 0E1FB007 ebx: 0000011C ecx: 00000000 edx: 00000000
esi: 00000000 edi: 00000000 esp: 00000000 ebp: 00000000
idt: 00000000 C0000000
gdt: 0000006F 000000A0
Switching descriptors.
Descriptors changed.
Legacy pic setup.
In real mode.

Without that I just get:

Synchronizing SCSI caches:
Shutting down devices
Starting new kernel

Can someone interpret?
