 From the linux manual:

 kexec allows one to load another kernel from the currently running Linux
 kernel. Normally one would load a kernel, and possibly an initial ramdisk,
 into the currently running kernel using kexec and then initiate a warm
 reboot by executing kexec again with appropriate option.

 Using kexec the reboot time is a lot reduced no BIOS screens, no
 bootloader... only the kernel is rebooted really.
