kexec-tools:kexec/arch/arm/kexec-arm.c:get_memory_ranges() is telling you that 
you have
MEMORY RANGES
00012028b6d27010-bea6aee700000004 (0)

However, you /proc/iomem is telling you:

42000000-5fffffff : System RAM

get_memory_ranges() is reading /proc/iomem and finding out the available ram 
locations. So, can you debug this kexec-tools function and see why you do not 
get the range which is coming from /proc/iomem
