Suggest return 0 if an image is not loaded, 1 if an image is loaded, but
I'll leave this for the toolstack maintainers to decide.

No need to check in progress here.

return !!test_bit(...);

It also occurs to be that this testing of bits races with
kexec_swap_image().  This race also affects kexec_exec().

Tabs!

Return 0 if no image is loaded. 1 if an image is loaded and -ve on an error.
