Re-read the code, I have to admit I didn't check the KEXEC_JUMP code
path carefully. 

kernel_kexec() {
	if (kexec_image->preserve_context) {
		...
		freeze_processes();
		...
		disable_nonboot_cpus();
		...
		
	else {
		...
		machine_shutdown();
		...
	}
	machine_kexec(kexec_image);
	...
}

  --machine_shutdown()
    --native_machine_shutdown()
      --disable_IO_APIC()
      --lapic_shutdown()

machine_kexec() {
	...
	if (image->preserve_context) {
		disable_IO_APIC();
	}
	...
}

KEXEC_JUMP code path is different than kexec/kdump, it doesn't call
lapic_shutdown() before jump. So commit 522e66464467
("x86/apic: Disable I/O APIC before shutdown of the local APIC") didn't
impact it. And here I break down disable_IO_APIC() and change to only
call restore_boot_irq_mode() to make a possible danger. I am not an
expert on KEXEC_JUMP, and don't know how to test it, so will keep the
code implementation consistent as before. For now, I plan to change it
as below if you don't object. As you pointed out, I will describe this
in patch log.
