Hm, without 'maxcpus' seems to work. However, when booting into the new
kernel, the rootfs had to be fsck'ed due to "/ was not cleanly unmounted,
check forced." and then was forced to reboot linux due to inconsistency in
the fs. I simply did kexec -l <vmlinux> --args-linux --append="root=/dev/hda1
init 1" and then kexec -e to execute the loaded image. It seems that the
filesystems are not unmounted properly before loading the second kernel, (or
I am missing something..., which is more likely :))
