[LTP] Existing kexec tests

[David Hu]

Hi,
   I am starting from scratch trying to come up with tests for kexec, so
there is not a
   specific framework I am working with now. any pointers / examples I can
look into
   to get a kexec test up on top of LTP ?

   The motivation is to improve kexec to address issues from this list
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cbTOapDAA1MfDSS5bggvEGcqNCFsrsFnAM2xX1wsOnk/edit?ts=60ca3192#heading=h.4gti11dn65un

thanks,
