If fdt_index should be set to -1, this should be done in
machine_kexec_prepare().  Anyway, there is no need to set it to -1 because
this image will not be registered in do_kexec_load() before the following
loop is complete.

			break;

there is no need to check the other segments, isn't it?

Cheers,
