I still understand.
Maybe the above patch will cure the symptoms but i will not heal the
cause.
But the driver for the intel VGA must not assume the current state of
the device. It is necessary to setup the whole VGA device during the
probe phase.
Otherwise when kexec a kernel there are tons of log entries or in many
cases a garbaged screen output and the whole kernels will hang.
