So I understand this is a workaround and that the correct upstream fix would be to check the actual expected kernel size and pick a proper offset depending on that.

My understanding is also that this impacts pretty much all Ubuntu-alike kernels (that is, big ones) and as such would be desirable to fix in lucid as to allow kexec to work on ARM in QEMU or on hardware platforms like the ones supported in Ubuntu lucid (dove, imx51, qcm-msm?, omap3).

Do you confirm it affects all our ARM platforms? On which ones was this tested?

Could you share some test instructions? Ideally, I'd love to test on qemu versatile and beagleboard.
