Subject: [PATCH V2 0/2] riscv: kexec_file: Support loading Image binary file

Changes since V1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20230914020044.1397356-1-songshuaishuai@tinylab.org/

- Patch1: fix the build error due to the missing functions in machine_kexec_file.c
- Patch2: use FIELD_GET() to get the flags's endianness as Emil proposed
- Cover: update the kexec-tools link as this one[2] which is based on horms/kexec-tools main branch

This series makes the kexec_file_load() syscall support to load Image binary file.
At the same time, corresponding support for kexec-tools had been pushed to my repo[2].

Now, we can leverage that kexec-tools and this series to use the
kexec_load() or kexec_file_load() syscall to boot both vmlinux 
and Image file, as seen in these combo tests:

```
1. kexec -l vmlinux [other options] // or boot paniced kernel with -p
2. kexec -l Image
3. kexec -s -l vmlinux
4. kexec -s -l Image
```

Though all of the aforementioned tests had been passed in my RV64 Qemu-virt, 
it should be noted that tests 3 and 4 should be the emphasis for the current series.
