IMHO, it would be better to do it like for the workqueues.
I mean to call printk_kexec_info(log_lv1, current) here
that would be impletemented in kexec sources.
Then it could be maintained by kexec people.

Anyway, I wonder if the info about kexec_crash_loaded() is
enough. I am not much familiar with kexec. AFAIK,
the image might be loaded long time before it
is acutally used.

Finally, the style of the other lines is:

    Name: details

I would suggest to print something like:

    Kexec: details

, where the details might be whether the image is loaded,
whether the loaded kernel is being executed, and
other kexec-related flags.

How does that sound?
