While working on the upcoming SLES11 SP2, I ran into an issue with booting the panic kernel on a kernel crash. In the first iteration I found out that the initial register backing store gets overwritten with zeroes, causing a kernel crash shortly afterwards. Further investigation revealed that rsvd_region[] contains overlapping entries: find_memmap_space() returns a pointer which lies between KERNEL_START and _end. This is correct with the EFI memmap as patched by the kexec purgatory code. That code removes vmlinux LOAD segments from the usable map, but there is a pretty large hole between the gate section and the per-cpu section. This happens because reserve_memory() blindly marks [KERNEL_START, __end] as reserved, even though there is a free block in the middle in the kexec case because it noticed a large gap between sections and modified the efi_memory_map to account for this.
