I'll review your patch! Note the patch is against Fedora's kexec-tools
so it doesn't apply to this upstream kexec-tools. The relationship
between Fedora's kexec-tools and this upstream kexec-tools can be
described as follows,
1. Fedora's kexec-tools packages the kexec binary which is provides by upstream
kexec-tools; 
2. The kexec binary is used for loading the kdump kernel and initrd but
it's not responsible for building the kdump initrd. Fedora's kexec-tools
is used to build the kdump initrd instead. 

Currrently it's WIP to split current Fedora kexec-tools into
kexec-tools, kdump-utils, makedumpfile and eppic. Hopefully after it's
done, you and other uses will no longer be confused by the relationship
between Fedora's kexec-tools and this upstream kexec-tools.
