By all means, try it.

Some pending machine check exception that we have *not* reacted to,
and that is pending around kexec boot could very possibly be relevant.

I forget your exact symptoms. Was it that the _first_ kexec works, but
the second one hangs? Or was that the other unrelated issue? Or have I
confused this with some other report entirely?
