Title:
  Fails to load compressed kernels on arm64

Status in kexec-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in kexec-tools source package in Xenial:
  New
Status in kexec-tools source package in Yakkety:

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  kexec-tools will not load a compressed kernel on arm64. Ubuntu ships compressed kernel images on arm64 starting with 16.10 (and hwe kernels for 16.04). A workaround is to manually decompress the kernel before loading it, but this is not supported by the use-kexec-for-reboot-by-default feature of the kexec-tools package.

  [Test Case]
  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo file /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-15-generic
  /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-15-generic: gzip compressed data, max compression, from Unix
  ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo kexec -d -l /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-15-generic -t Image

  image_arm64_probe: Bad arm64 image header.
  Cannot determine the file type of /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-15-generic

  [Regression Risk]
  kexec-tools did not support arm64 until zesty so, assuming the fix is localized to arm64 code, regression risk is negligible.
