Ok, the Oops confirms that the error is due to executing the kexec control

My yesterday's proposed change doesn't work because on book3S/32, NX
protection is based on setting segments to NX, and using IBATs for kernel

Can you try the patch I sent out a few minutes ago ?
(https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1103827/)
It now crashes with "BUG: Unable to handle kernel instruction fetch"
and the faulting address is 0xef13a000.
