Hmm, it (obviously) does build for me and using kexec still also works
for me.

But it seems that you are right and that this should not build, weird.

Thank you for reporting this. I've attached a patch which should fix this,
I'm also sending this the regular way, so that the x86 maintainers can pick it up.

Can you please give this a try and let us know if it fixes things for you?

Regards,

Hans
