[RFC v1 0/4] arm64: MMU enabled kexec kernel relocation

[Pavel Tatashin]

Added identity mapped page table, and keep MMU enabled while
kernel is being relocated from sparse pages to the final
destination during kexec.

More description about the problem I am trying to solve here, can be
found here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190709182014.16052-1-pasha.tatashin@xxxxxxxxxx/

This patch series works in terms, that I can kexec-reboot both in QEMU
and on a physical machine. However, I do not see performance improvement
during relocation. The performance is just as slow as before with disabled
caches.

Am I missing something? Perhaps, there is some flag that I should also
enable in page table? Please provide me with any suggestions.
