Subject: shutdown: remove kexec-tools dependency
X-Git-Tag: v261-rc1~700
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1224e5d1952598db6706bf2e70f9cbfde6fe0987;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

shutdown: remove kexec-tools dependency

'kexec -e' is just a small wrapper that does the xen hypercall
on xen, or otherwise just calls reboot(). Drop the dependency,
and reuse the existing xen hypercall helper.
