kexec_file_load() appears to hand all the parsing off to the Linux kernel:

The original kexec_load() function:

Either the Linux kernel is also parsing the ELF wrong (which is entirely
possible!) or FreeBSD isn't 100% in compliance with the specification.  I don't
know which one it is but would suspect that the same bug that was present in
kexec-lite [1] could easily be present in the Linux kernel somewhere...
