As I mentioned in my initial report, only versions >= 6.8 are affected.
Anyway, I actually was kexec-ing the same kernel which was already booted
when I did the bisection which pointed to 18d565ea95fe.

Reverting these two commits does not fix things on v6.13-rc7.

But I have found that reverting 18d565ea95fe fixes the issue for kernels
up to 6.11. Since 6.12 this is not enough. So I'm doing another bisection.
I will report results maybe later today.
