From: "Eric W. Biederman" This patch should not make it to the stable kernel without a being reviewed a lot more. It is unclear how much a hardned kernel can take when it comes to misconfigured apics. So since a normal kernel has problems this patch does a clean shutdown. It is my expectation this patch will be dropped from future generations of the kexec work. But for the moment it is a crutch to keep from breaking everything.
