kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
interface is strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be
made.

+ This is new version of kexec system call. This system call is

This option makes kernel signature verification mandatory for
kexec_file_load() syscall. If kernel is signature can not be
