BTW, should kexecboot binary return from start_kernel invocation?
We can save some resources by replacing system() call with exec(). system()
uses '/bin/sh -c' to start process. As I remember, thesing will remove /bin/sh
at all and use kexecboot as init. Then system() will stop working (AFAIK).

When we don't needed to wait for /usr/bin/kexec then we can just replace system
by some of "exec's family".
