Thanks, Dave.
Yeah, I also tested on a HP machine, problem reprodued on the current
master branch when revert commit 52b922c3d49c.
Then apply these two patches, problem solved.
Tried boris's next-merge-window branch too, kexec works very well.
Dirk, Junichi, feel free to add your test result if you have time.
