Because we do the proper clean ups and shutdown in the normal kexec case there is a chance that from the kexec case BIOS calls will work, and if not you can easily make the case don't do that then. For kdump because we want it to be reliable and because we don't clean anything up we have a very slim chance of BIOS calls working and trying it is likely to do something nasty. So I don't have a good feeling about BIOS calls. As for int 0x10 especially the right fix is to get enough video driver information that we can force the kernel into frame-buffer mode.
