Thanks! Do we need to do anything in particular to test this?

Does the `reboot --kexec` tooling in Guix System / Shepherd use this
package?

Turns out that thousands of packages depend on this little one, via
elogind:

------
$ guix refresh -l kexec-tools
Building the following 1838 packages would ensure 3464 dependent packages are rebuilt [...]
$ guix package -s . | recsel -e 'dependencies ~ "kexec-tools"' -p name,synopsis,location           
name: localed                                                                   
synopsis: Control the system locale and keyboard layout  
location: gnu/packages/freedesktop.scm:1009:2

name: elogind
synopsis: User, seat, and session management service  
location: gnu/packages/freedesktop.scm:824:2
------

Hmph! So it needs to go through a team branch in order to reach the
master branch. It can be the first significant 'kernel-team' branch.

Guix system, and shepherd rely on syscall interface to setup, and 
perform kexec.

As for me, I needed to implement a workaround[0] for my system, and so I 
noticed it's outdated, and therefore decided to update it.

That's what I thought but I wasn't totally sure (not familiar with this
part of the codebase).

Thanks for the explanation.

Now the 'kernel-team' branch has entered the build farm queue:

https://qa.guix.gnu.org/

It will probably take some time before we get our turn.
