When I tested kexec with the latest kernel, I ran into the following warning:

This is caused by the fact that kexec allocates the destination directly in the CMA area. In that case, the CMA kernel address should be exported directly to the IMA component, instead of using the vmalloc'd address.
Well, you didn't update the log accordingly.
Do you know why cma area can't be mapped into vmalloc?
