Details - kexec is crashing the running kernel "loading" the new kernel.  I can not get to the point of running `kexec -e` because the image can never load.  

I am testing on a MT7621 device.

I have tried 5.4 kernel from 21.02-RC3 and also 5.10.43 from Head.  Both exhibit the same failure.

I build and flash my image, and from the build i take `target-mipsel_24kc_musl/linux-ramips_mt7621/vmlinux.elf` which is the kernel in the image, in its original .elf form.

The image boots fine and has no issues.  
scp the vmlinux.elf to /tmp

Execute:

# kexec -l --append="console=ttyS0,115200 rootfstype=squashfs /tmp/vmlinux.elf


Modified cmdline:console=ttyS0,115200 rootfstype=squashfs
