incorrect layout of globals from head_64.S during kexec boot

[Olaf Hering]

During kexec in a Xen PVonHVM guest the new kernel crashes most of the
time in secondary_startup_64 because the content of phys_base is
corrupted. Its not zero as expected but has some random other values.
While debugging that crash I came up with the change below to inspect
the memory around phys_base. 

It turned out that the globales are not in the expected memory location.
An expected value such as phys_base_plus1 is shifted, but by a different
amount during repeated kexec attempts. Up to now I havent figured out
where this happens.

My question is: were to put additional debug to trace the copying of the
data section to its final destination? Is this a task of kexec -l or
does that happen during decompressing? I suspect the latter. This is the
console output before the crash (the crash happens in 'movq %rax, %cr3'):
