For the lack of better ideas, below is a patch to try.

It avoids the possible issue with the restore kernel's identity mapping overlap
with restore_jump_address by creating special super-simple page tables just
for the final jump to the image kernel.

It is on top of the $subject patch.  My test box still works with this applied,
but then it worked without it as well.

If it doesn't help, the identity mapping created by set_up_temporary_mappings()
is still not adequate for some reason most likely and we'll need to find out
why.

Thanks,
Rafael
