Subject: [BUG] lkvm crash on crashkernel boot

Hi,

I've tried to play with kexec using lkvm. Unfortunately, lkvm crashes when
I try to switch to crashkernel.

I use Linus tree + penberg/kvmtool/next + one x86 mm patch[1].

Kernel is defconfig + kvmconfig. I use the same kernel image for system and
crash env.

Host:

% lkvm run --cpus 1 -m 1024 --params 'crashkernel=256M loglevel=8'

Guest:

# kexec -p bzImage --reuse-cmdline
# echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
...
[    0.947984] loop: module loaded
[    0.950078] virtio-pci 0000:00:01.0: irq 40 for MSI/MSI-X
[    0.950925] virtio-pci 0000:00:01.0: irq 41 for MSI/MSI-X
[    0.952944] virtio-pci 0000:00:01.0: irq 42 for MSI/MSI-X
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  lkvm run --cpus 1 -m 1024 --params 'crashkernel=256M loglevel=8'

Guest kernel is somewhere in virtio_net initialization (for the second
time). I'm too lazy to find exact line.

Backtrace:
