kexec hangs on P2020

Hi,

i have tried to kexec a 32 bit kernel on a Freescale P2020 dual core CPU
(e500v2, revison 5.1 - pvr 8021 1051), but Kexec will hang.

The host and the kexec kernel are 3.9.4, but i have cross checked with
the current 3.10 kernel, there is no notable change in this code path. 

Invoking kexec with

kexec --command-line "$(cat /proc/cmdline)" -t elf-ppc --dtb=rs2020.dtb \
--reuse-node="/cpus/PowerPC,P2020 at 0/timebase-frequency" \
--reuse-node="/cpus/PowerPC,P2020 at 0/bus-frequency" \
--reuse-node="/cpus/PowerPC,P2020 at 0/clock-frequency" \
--reuse-node="/cpus/PowerPC,P2020 at 0/next-level-cache" \
--reuse-node="/cpus/PowerPC,P2020 at 1/timebase-frequency" \
--reuse-node="/cpus/PowerPC,P2020 at 1/bus-frequency" \
--reuse-node="/cpus/PowerPC,P2020 at 1/clock-frequency" \
--reuse-node="/cpus/PowerPC,P2020 at 1/next-level-cache" \
--reuse-node="/cpus/PowerPC,P2020 at 1/cpu-release-addr" \
--reuse-node="/cpus/PowerPC,P2020 at 1/enable-method" \
--reuse-node="/soc at ffe00000/bus-frequency" \
--reuse-node="/soc at ffe00000/serial at 4500/clock-frequency" \
--reuse-node="/soc at ffe00000/ethernet at 24000/local-mac-address" \
-d -l -x vmlinux
kexec -e

This will be the result output of the run:

The same is still working on a Freescale 834x PowerPC CPU and the output
of kexec looks similary.

The version of the kexec tool is 2.04.

Any ideas?
