The commit a85ee18c7900 ("kexec_file: print out debugging message
if required") has added general code printing in kexec_file_load(),
but not in kexec_load().

As a result, when using '-d' for the kexec_load interface,
print nothing in the kernel space.
That doesn't sound like a thing which "kernel test robot" would detect
and report.

Since the segments debugging message has already been printed by the
user-space tool kexec-tools, it will not be printed here in the
kernel space.

And print out type/start/head of kimage and flags to help debug.

Oh I see, that's a warning against an earlier version of this patch.
But this is labelled "v1"!
yes.

I suggest we remove this Reported-by record.
ok, I'll collect some other suggestions and fix it together in the next version.

Thanks, I'll await reviewer input before proceeding with this series.
