Will that work, if the guest with kernel that uses modern mode, kexecs
to an older (but presumed reliable) kernel that only knows about legacy mode?

I.e. will the replacement kernel, or (ideally) replacement driver on
the rare occasion that is needed on a running kernel, be able to reset
the device hard enough?
