kexec_loaded/kexec_crash_loaded exposes Linux kernel kexec/crash state.
It does not say anything about Xen kexec/crash state. So, we need a special
approach to get the latter. Though for compatibility we provide similar
functionality in kexec-tools for the former.

I hope that helps.

Eric, I have a feeling that you should add en extra indentation
for lines starting from "+if test "$have_xenctrl_h"..." and
ending at "+fi".
