Hi Alex,

if you prefer this approach then its fine by me. I can confirm that
it works - that is, with it my RX2620 ends up with 2 cpus in the second
kernel, and without it, it doesn't.

The reason that your kexec is locking up is that its getting stuck
on the call to PA() in purgatory, which is supplied by kexec-tools.
The reason for this is that it assumes that the following is valid:

  pa = va - PAGE_OFFSET
     where: PAGE_OFFSET = 0xe000000000000000UL;

I'm sorry that I overlooked this when I suggested that Kexec
should work with the patches you suggested and subsequently applied.
I missed this one :-(

This code is appauling (IMHO) but its there, and it effects
Linux compatibility.

There are several fixes for this, and the ultimately the choice is
likely to rely on the choice of solution for the EFI mapping problem -
as its EFI addresses that PA() operates on.

I imagine that if you just hack PAGE_OFFSET in
purgatory/arch/ia64/purgatory-ia64.c of the kexec-tools-tree such that
it is 0xf000000000000000UL, then the problem will (tempoarily) go away.
I can verify that if you like. Though it will break kexec from Linux.

Another (tempoary) solution is to simply apply the patches that you
skipped in my series. When I say apply, I mean for the purposes of
testing, not merge into the tree. This works because EFI virtual
addresses do end up satisfying the equation above.

Specifically I am talking about the following patches.  Which can all be
found at
http://www.vergenet.net/linux/kexec/ia64-xen/20070927/broken_out/linux-xen/
I believe that they will apply to the current xen-ia64-unstable tree
unmodified.

EFI_OFFSET.patch
ia64_do_page_fault-efi-identity-map.patch
efi_enter_virtual_mode.patch
alt_dtlb_miss-efi.patch

I think that the best way forward from here is to look at a solution
for the EFI mapping problem. I will try and find time to investigate
Yamahata-san's RID idea ASAP. If we can get a solution for that problem
in place, then the way to deal with the PA() in purgatory problem
should be come obvious, and if Yamahata-san's idea works and
we can map EFI at 0xe000000000000000UL, then the problem will go away.
