[Modify the subject since this is a new problem, original io vector
issue has been fixed with one commit from Thomas]

Add more cc according to below old discussion:

Tom, I'm not sure why you finally did not dynamically run wbinvd?

The above kexec reboot hang is another problem, so Thomas has fully
fixed previous report, thanks!

For the kexec reboot hang, if I remove the wbinvd in stop_this_cpu()
then kexec works fine. like this:
 
diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/process.c b/arch/x86/kernel/process.c
index 832a6acd730f..6d7499730b27 100644

-		asm volatile("wbinvd; hlt" : : : "memory");
-	}
+	for (;;)
+		halt();
 }
 
 /*

But I have no idea why though, seeking for help and thoughts..
