I did some more work on this, but still did not find out what the problem
is.  Kexec from 4.3 -> 4.3 works, but with the white-09.09.01-15.56
petitboot (2.6.30.9) -> 4.3 gets a kernel panic:

 -> early_setup(), dt_ptr: 0x7fff000
Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG: Failed verifying flat device tree, bad version?

I'll look at it some more as I find time.
