How about this?
(This definition will go into a new header, asm/image.h.)

Right, it's been a bug since the first appearance in v10.

Okay.

The aim here is to prevent any images from being loaded
when there is no question that a new image will never be successfully
kexec'ed since the core on a given SoC obviously doesn't support cpu
features that are assumed and required by a image.

I believe that this check is a good and easy practice to avoid possible
failures before execution.

To respect TEXT_OFFSET particularly for older kernels.
Will add some comments here.

kexec_add_buffer() allocates one contiguous region, and
so nr_segments should be 1. But I think using nr_segments is resilient
if some buffer may be added before this line.
(Historically, in my old patches, a buffer for elfcoreheader was added
before a kernel segument was added to image->segment[].)

Adding another parameter to kexec_add_buffer() would be simple to do,
but I doubt that there is any difference since how to fill an allocated
segment with some data is totally up to the caller (arch-specific).

(That said, let me think twice.)
