I'm still waiting to test this patch series on a PowerVM box, and unfortunately
there are some machine issues to debug first :-( So that's why this is taking
time... :-(

Oh! This looks like a different hang than the one I tried to fix. My patch
("powerpc, kexec: Fix "Processor X is stuck" issue during kexec from ST mode")
which is already in benh's next branch was aimed at fixing the "CPU is stuck"
issue which was observed during the second kernel boot. If the first kernel
itself is hanging in the down-path, then it looks like a different problem
altogether.

The 4 patches that I proposed in this thread are aimed at making the above
solution more elegant, by not having to actually online the secondary threads
while doing kexec. I don't think it will solve the hang that you are seeing.
In any case, I'll provide the consolidated patch below if you want to give it
a try.
By the way, I have a few questions regarding the hang you observed: is it
always reproducible with SMT=off? And if SMT was 8 (i.e, all CPUs in the system
were online) and then you did a kexec, do you still see the hang?
