I don't think it's a good name.  Even if the user has any idea what the kexec-
lite project is and that this is a reference to it, you're mimicking a 
specific aspect of kexec-lite behavior, not kexec-lite in general.

If it's an option to skip sha256 verification, then call it something like "--
skip-sha256".
