Yah, the separation of kernels, images and distros triggers issues like
this.

To actually make kexec work, you need the right tools, a kexec target
kernel, configuration, etc.
That makes me think that it really should be a distro or image feature, and
from there we could
trigger a KERNEL_FEATURE that pulled this in.

That's more work that this really needs a the moment, so I've merged this
patch as-is.
