You mean when identity_mapped() runs as part of a kexec-ed kernel, it
might clear CR4.MCE and that would trigger the #VE?

So, if that is correct, you basically want to *preserve* the CR4.MCE
setting across kexec?

But then __mcheck_cpu_init_generic() will go and set it
unconditionally.

So what exactly is the correct flow here?

Thx.
