Does the aacraid_commit_reset.patch work to resolve this issue all by itself in the kexec'd kernel? Or alternatively did you try aacraid.startup_timeout=540 as one of the kernel parameters passed to the kexec'd kernel? The '[PATCH] aacraid: fix shutdown handler to also disable interrupts' patch (you refer to this as patch 4) is not to be in the picture because it will hide the root cause. I believe I have you correct in stating that this patch (4) resolves the problem... but I expect the problem to remain with kdump.
