Do you need to patch anything for this, or does it work out of the box?

Sounds like something does not get correctly initialized..

Well since the LCD is on, you could write a little function that
writes the output to the LCD. You just need to find out the virtual
address of the LCD and then add a function for displaying fonts..
Pretty easy to do.

BTW, do you have some Maemo package for kexec?
