Thanks, I'm a bit concerned since the original

commit 991de2e59090e55c65a7f59a049142e3c480f7bd

broke things badly for me (requiring irqpoll to avoid a kernel hang) and 
neither of the patches enabled kexec reboots to work like before the 
original commit.

I just tested a kexec reboot with irqpoll enabled and that continues to 
fail, so I'm back to running 4.2 kernel until there is a patch that 
works with kexec reboots.

Arthur.
