Here's an updated version of the patch that better handles pathological e820 tables.

Also, can you reproduce this issue with a target kernel (the kernel being kexec-ed) that has one of the patches attached (select the correct one according to your kernel version) applied, with either kexec_load or kexec_file_load?

Can you send the dmesg logs for this case (6.13 + mentioned patch series backported as target kernel, using kexec_load)?

It seems like `e820__register_nosave_regions` is erroneously marking some
kernel memory as nosave in the presence of sub-page e820 regions. In theory
backporting
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250214090651.3331663-1-rppt@xxxxxxxxxx/ should
be sufficient to avoid this but a fix for the actual root cause is
preferred.
When using kexec_file_load, this patch series fixes the issue not only
in theory but also in practice.
But the issue with kexec_load (see
https://lore.kernel.org/all/Z-hYWc9LtBU1Yhtg@desktop0a/
), which might be related, is not fixed.
