Thanks for the patches.

As previously, I have reverted my hacks and applied your patches (also I
dropped patches from previous mail against kernel and kexec-tools) for both
kernel and user space on first and second environments.

It does NOT solve the issue.

If there is no idea pops up soon, I'm going to resend my series that
workarounds the issue.
