A couple of high level comments. This looks promising for the usual case. Removing the printk at the end of the kexec path seems a little dubious, what of other cpus, interrupt handlers, etc. Basically estabilishing a new rule on when printk is allowed seems a little dubious at this point, even if it is a useful debugging trick. Having a clean shutdown of the radeon definitely seems worth doing, because the cases where we care abouty video are when a person is in front of the system. I don't know if you want to remove the sanity checks. They seem cheap and safe regardless. Are they expensive or ineffective? Moreover if they work a reasonable amount of the time that means that the kexec on panic case (where we don't shut anything down) can actually use the video, and that in general the driver will be more robust. I don't expect anyone much cares as kexec on panic is mostly used to just write a core file to the network, or the local disk. But if it is easy to keep that case working most of the time, why not.
