I would recommend against adding paths in source files.  It often
happens that files with paths are moved, but the file comments are not
updated.

Since userbuf is a binary flag, I think type bool would be better.
Change the comments from 'set' and '1' to 'true'.

Should offset be type size_t?

Should ppos be type phys_addr_t *?

Can we use 0x%llx here and below and avoid these casts?

Maybe have a blank line here?

There are more kexec user programs than kexec-tools, so I think
something like 'user space tools' would be better.
