Ok.  This time I really have tested my new version of kexec on x86_64
and it is working.  At least enough to get me a crashdump that I
can read with vmcore-dmesg.  So unless I think my horrible of trivial

I would love to hear a test result from someone else,
and I apologize to everyone for messing up.
