[Regression testing on Xenial AMD64]
AMD64 kernel already has kexec support on Xenial. The attached patch applies 
cleanly and builds on AMD64: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23950437/

== Installed kexec-tools built with ARM64 enablement patches ==
ubuntu@test:~$ dpkg -l | grep kexec-tools
ii  kexec-tools                      1:2.0.10-1ubuntu2.1                amd64   
     tools to support fast kexec reboots
ubuntu@test:~$ 

== Load kexec kernel and initiate kexec ==
ubuntu@test:~$ sudo kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-62-generic 
--initrd=/boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-62-generic --append="root=LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs 
ro console=ttyS0"
ubuntu@test:~$ sudo kexec -e

== Successfully live booted kernel ==
Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS test ttyS0
