Currently kexec in a PVonHVM guest fails with a triple fault because the new kernel overwrites the shared info page. The exact failure depends on the size of the kernel image. This patch moves the pfn from RAM into an E820 reserved memory area. The pfn containing the shared_info is located somewhere in RAM. This will cause trouble if the current kernel is doing a kexec boot into a new kernel. The new kernel (and its startup code) can not know where the pfn is, so it can not reserve the page. The hypervisor will continue to update the pfn, and as a result memory corruption occours in the new kernel. The toolstack marks the memory area FC000000-FFFFFFFF as reserved in the E820 map. Within that range newer toolstacks will keep 1MB starting from FE700000 as reserved for guest use. Older toolstacks will usually not allocate areas up to FE700000, so FE700000 is expected to work also with older toolstacks.
