Its taken this long to work out your definition of linear here doesn't match the way the
rest of the arch code uses the term.
You are using the MMU to re-assemble the scattered kexec image in VA space, so that the
relocation code doesn't have to walk the list.
While its a cool trick, I don't think this is a good idea, it makes it much harder to
debug as we have a new definition for VA->PA, instead of re-using the kernels. We should
do the least surprising thing. The person debugging a problem's first assumptions should
be correct. Doing this means any debug information printed before kexec() is suddenly
useless for debugging a problem that occurs during relocation.

Let me hack together what I've been describing and we can discuss whether its simpler.

You should be able to load the TTBR0_EL1 (and corresponding TCR_EL1.T0SZ) before kicking
off the relocation code. There should be no need to pass it in to assembly.
For example, hibernate sets TTBR0_EL1 in create_safe_exec_page().

So we hope to always find a destination first?

Where does rc come from?
