FWIW, having just given this a go on my Juno R1 with v4.16-rc3
defconfig, the UART IRQs work fine in the crash kernel. That crash
happened in IRQ context:

[  384.653153] Call trace:

On a separate note, the crashkernel complained:

[    0.224730] CPU: CPUs started in inconsistent modes

... which is a separate disaster. I suspect the kexec code failed to punt the
crash CPU back to EL2 as it should have.

Thanks,
Mark.
