Right.

It is critical to unshared *all* pages on kexec or the second kernel will
crash at some point on accessing shared page as private.

This is the sanity check: if number of shared pages in page tables is less
than what we expected, we've lost shared bit somewhere. And kexec will
likely be a disaster.

Ability to trigger the check a any point can help to correlate the leak
with activity.

Okay, makes sense.
