FWIW, I'm fine with this series. I think the only concern raised by
James and not addressed is the possibility of the failure of the memory
allocation for copying the page tables during kexec. If anyone will
complain in the future, we can look into adding a fallback mechanism to
do the relocation with the MMU off.
