Indeed, this is completely broken (I just reproduced the issue on a
model).

There are users out there that want kexec/kdump support.  I think we
should remove this patch from the series, replace it with a temporary
Kconfig conditional that allows only one of KVM or kexec to be enabled,
and merge kexec and kdump support in for 4.5.  This will satisfy users
who need kexec but not KVM, like kexec based bootloaders.  Once this
KVM hot plug patch is fixed we then merge it, either for 4.5 or 4.6,
depending on the timing.

I'll prepare and post a v13 series that does the above.

I'm not really keen on merging this based on a "temporary" Kconfig change
with a promise to have it resolved in the future. Given how long this
series has been floating around already, I'm not filled with confidence
at the prospect of waiting for a fixup patch after it's been merged.

Please address the outstanding review comments before reposting.

I'm working hard on addressing Marc's comment on kvm cpu hotplug, and so
can you please review other *main* part of kexec/kdump patches?
Or can I think that 'no comments' is a good sign of your acceptance?

Thanks,
