I understand. I just explained why I could not derive that fact from the
timestamps. You said,

There are four memmap dumps:

(1) first boot, initial dump,
(2) first boot, dump when entering virtual mode,
(3) kexec boot, initial dump,
(4) kexec boot, dump when entering virtual mode.

I was aware that we were discussing a problem either between (1) and
(2), *or* between (3) and (4); I just didn't know inside "which pair".

I misunderstood your reply and thought that you were implying the
(1)+(2) pair by the low absolute timestamps. I assumed that (3)+(4)
would print low timestamps as well (due to the time offset starting from
zero in the kexec kernel too) and took your message as a correction to
that idea. But, you didn't say anything about the magnitude of the
timestamps, only about the differences between them.

Sorry for the noise, it's clear now that we're looking at (1)->(2).

Thanks
Laszlo
