When --reuse-cmdline is specified, kexec automatically removes some command line parameter that are *known* to break the kexec'd target. That patch corrects that behaviour: 1. BOOT_IMAGE should be removed always when --reuse-cmdline is specified since it's likely that the kernel is not the same as the running kernel. As only lilo-like bootloaders (i.e. not GRUB) adds that parameter, there's no need to add a BOOT_IMAGE here. 2. crashkernel should be only removed when 'kexec -p' is called. For the normal kexec, the crashkernel parameter can be passed as in the running kernel. The mistake has been introduced by commit 3c5bb06948881b3e31c783c19edef74275794280 by myself.
