kexec was borked in 5.0+ kernel I was using.
Switched to 5.0.3 stable and kexec works as expected. No warnings seen with a kexec boot.

Attached cpu hotplug test output while perf is running in the background. No WARN messages seen.
When I run the kexec command, it boots to bios. Haven't used kexec before. Still trying to figure that one out.

basically:
- apply patch - start workload with 4 counter (on all CPUs), such that tfa-msr=1 - try the following: o cpu hotplug o kexec
to see if the new WARN will trigger -- it should not.
