fastboot in Linux kernel

Just learn of this feature - in the kernel.   Google returned too many
different links, very confused.

Can someone summarized (if he knows the answer) the feature:

a.   What is it about.   Of course - faster bootup.
b.   What mechanism it takes?   (using kdump/kexec?)   Soft boot or
hard boot?   And what are the tradeoff it takes?   Delayed bootup
(like in VMWare/WIndows XP)?
c.   Status of current work?   (i still see my bootup very slow :-)).

Thank you very much.
