    Right, how we layout the regions is arbitrary as long as we start at
    the same VA and use the same regions, in the same order and of the same
    size...

    ... however, we still need to understand why it fails mapping the boot
    services region as some implementations apparently do call boot services
    even after ExitBootServices(). IOW, we need that region mapped in the
    kexec'ed kernel too.

    Thanks.
