:)

The rest of today was dedicated to finding out that that isn't entirely
true. Mapping the control page explicitly was only helping because it
forced 2MiB mappings instead of a 1GiB mapping, and masked the fact
that PTI was causing the identmap code to scribble off the end of the
root PGD page...

It all just worked by pure fluke on x86_64 before, because x86_64 would
allocate a 8KiB control region and use the first half of it for the
PGD, and *then* copy the trampoline code into the second half, after
the identmap code had finished scribbling on it. So when I cleaned that
up to allocate the PGD separately and explicitly like i386 does, that's
why it exploded; not just due to allocation patterns.

Still, I think I have a handle on fairly much everything that's broken,
except the occasional warning on the way back from
KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT thus:
