kexec needs to keep the subarch setting the same as the running kernel
in the boot parameters, or the kernel will die in early setup. I ran
into this with X86_SUBARCH_MRST, but it should apply to CE4100 and any
future subarch that uses non-default early setup code.
This patch requires debugfs mounted at /sys/kernel/debug, as that's
the only way I know of to get at the running kernels boot_params.
Without debugfs mounted it falls back to the current behavior of
assuming subarch 0.

Yes. Sorry, looks like I sent an unrefreshed patch.

A minor issue here is that you are using a hard-coded debugfs path,
debugfs can be also mounted to /debug too, so it is better that if we can
search the path dynamically here.
Thanks.

Do you think it would be better for the code to loop through
a few common alternatives for the path?

Not fully tested, but instead of looping through possible mount points maybe
look through mtab in search of debugfs by fs type.
Something like this?

This approach looks good to me.
