I applied Jiang Liu's patch of 1st March 2016 to a clean kernel 
4.5.0-rc6 source, removed my workaround of removing and re-adding the 
eata module before mounting file-systems that are on disks attached to 
the DPT SCSI card using the eata driver, and was able to kexec from the 
new kernel successfully.
