Sounds like the GPU is writing to physical memory from the
old mappings.
This can happen to other devices if they aren't completely
disabled - which may not happen since the kexec case probably
avoids some of the hardware resets that occurr diring a normal
reboot.

I remember an ethernet chip writing into its rx ring/buffer
area following a reboot (and reinstall!) when connected
to a quiet lan.
