Bug Description
[Impact]
Without this fix, kexec won't be able to load kernels on amd64.
[Test Case]
kexec has been tested to be able to load a 4.18 kernel.
[Regression Potential]
As the fix is only applied to the x86_64 portion of kexec, only this platform should be affected. Package with fix has been tested there.
When running kexec with 4.18, it fails.
$ sudo kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-
Unhandled rela relocation: R_X86_64_PLT32
