It seems to me that the kexec will be done with the MMU left on for the ARMv7 case. Looking at the code in the cpu_arm926_reset() routine in arch/arm/mm/proc-arm926.S this is not the case there. Instead, the MMU is turned off and the last instruction that is fetched using the virtual address mapping is a jump to a physical address. Shouldn't this be handled as consistently as possible for the different ARM sub-archs? Regards, Per Fransson
