Here is my view on what happens on the Meta fleet.

Each workload selects a set of attack vectors and decides on its own
security threat model.

To meet the security requirements of that workload, the machine needs to
be rebooted, so a workload switch usually means a reboot or kexec, which
is not ideal.

This solution would remove that extra kexec on a workload switch.
