Surely this isn't specific to the Intel IOMMU? Shouldn't it live
elsewhere — either in generic IOMMU code or perhaps in generic kexec
support code?

Don't we need to solve the same kexec problem on *all* platforms with
an IOMMU, and won't they all need something like this?

And I think you're misusing VTD_PAGE_{SHIFT,MASK} when you should be
using the normal PAGE_{SHIFT,MASK}. And shouldn't physical addresses be
phys_addr_t?
