I still don't think this is adequate.

When kexec takes effect, the existing kernel is shutdown and replaced
with the new kernel, and it completely takes over the system.  The
dynamically allocated structures (which include pointers for the parent
interrupt for mpc8xxx) are irrelevant, as they will need to be
reallocated.  It feels like you're just putting a band-aid over a real
problem.

I think rather than producing a patch, you need to give details of the
crash you are seeing.  Probably having the kernel message log across
the kexec and into the new kernel up to the point where the crash occurs
would be a good idea.
