Has anyone tried injecting a Plan 9 instance into the new Amazon cloud?

Amazon prescreen the kernel that you can use there, but!
As was suggested by Richard Miller, if Plan9 can be
a target of kexec -- the sky is the limit.
Has anybody tried kexec'ing plan from under the Linux
kernel?
Thanks,
Roman.

I thought I read they were using Xen? What's the relationship between
kexec and Xen?

Kexec is a system call which linux uses to load and execute another
kernel. Kexec has to be work differently under xen, because it's
loading into xen virtual memory not physical memory; but this is
supported by current linux kernels. Plan 9 would also need some
changes to be able to be loaded by kexec (under xen or otherwise);
I forget the details.
