Public bug reported:

kexec halts system on reboot on trusty

kexec: Starting new kernel

32-bit relocation outside of kernel!

 -- System halted

The bug is discussed here

   http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2014-August/012354.html

and the debian bug is here

   https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=754288

A workaround for trusty is add the "--entry-32bit" argument to the kexec
initscripts where kexec is used.

s#/sbin/kexec#/sbin/kexec --entry-32bit#g

If a package version bump is unlikely, it might be a good to add this as
an option in /etc/default/kexec ?
