As we discussed in the thread of replying to the cover letter, the
idea of this patchset is not good. 

Because We tend to use kexec_file_load more and improve/enhance it in the
future, and gradually obsolete the old kexec_load interface which this
patchset is trying to fix on. 

And the issue James spot is a very corner case, we have suggested
another easier way to avoid it by adding systemd service to load kexec
and monitor memory adding/removing uevent, juas as we have done for
kdump loading. Bhupesh is working on this to add a service in Fedora
and test, and will put it to RHEL too if nobody is unsatisfied.

Thanks
