I tried various ways of fixing it up inside the crash kernel itself, and none worked (including resetting the entire mpic). Masking all interrupts and issuing EOIs in the crashing kernel did help a lot of the time, but the behavior was not consistent. Thus, stick to standard IACK mode when kdump is a possibility.
