Reminder that not all platforms support or, ineeed, *can* support kexec() sanely at all. Like ours. kexec() requires the ability to reset all peripheral state and that is *impossible* on Apple Silicon because firmware is loaded by earlier boot stages and cannot be re-loaded later to the reset state without a full system reboot.
