+long_desc="
+ Kexec is a fastboot mechanism which allows booting a Linux kernel from the
+ context of already running kernel without going through BIOS. BIOS can be very
+ time consuming especially on the big servers with lots of peripherals. This can
+ save a lot of time for developers who end up booting a machine numerous times."
