Matthew and I were chatting in general about it couple of days back and mattew suggested how about if we embrace the idea of booting the kernel always in physical mode (both first and second) and keep that extra set of pagetables around to make EFI calls. That way kexec/kdump should just work and kernel changes also might not be too much. The potential problem with this is that this might expose various kind of BIOS issues with different vendors as vendors might not test the physical path.
First I have to say I know a little about EFI. I am wondering what benefits we will lose if we use physical mode? comparing it with virtual mode? If very few, this could be a solution.
