Tools for fast kernel loading
Kexec is a user space utility for loading another kernel and asking the
currently running kernel to do something with it. A currently running
kernel may be asked to start the loaded kernel on reboot, or to start
the loaded kernel after it panics.

- Remove kexec-tools-xen-balloon-up.patch (bsc#1176606) This patch was introduced to address bug#694863, it enabled kexec for HVM at that time. Meanwhile Xen 4.7 introduced "soft-reset" for HVM domUs. This host feature removed the requirement to un-ballon the domU prior kexec. With Xen 4.13 cpuid faulting became the default, which affected the approach used in this patch to detect the domU type. As a result invoking kexec in dom0 failed.
