[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-4.18.0-5-generic --initrd /boot/initrd.img-4.18.0-5-generic --append "`cat /proc/cmdline`"
