Rubbish. Kexec works just fine today on a secure boot enabled system.
Ignoring the nonsense that there is no such thing as a secure boot
enabled linux system.
Whatever we implement must work on all linux systems.
If we implement an extension we also must write the code in /sbin/kexec
so that it works on older systems that do not implement that extension.
