I'm not sure if we should worry about that ... not having the code bloat
for the functions is kexec is not configured is a good goal. Worrying
about a few extra microseconds in the shutdown path if kexec is configured
but we are actually doing a normal shutdown/reboot doesn't seem as
big of a worry.
