The patch is wrong.
The logic between the compat entry point and the ordinary entry point
are by necessity different. This unifies the logic and breaks the compat
entry point.
The fundamentally necessity is that the code being loaded needs to know
which mode the kernel is running in so it can safely transition to the
new kernel.
Given that the two entry points fundamentally need different logic,
and that difference was not preserved and the goal of this patchset
was to unify that which fundamentally needs to be different. I don't
think this patch series makes any sense for kexec.
