It is my regret that I haven't had a chance to pay more attention to the kexec related issues lately. I am in the process of working down the size of my todo list but for things seem to keep having additional corner cases that crop up.
As I recall last time I worked on a relocatable kernel I had the basic work done and then ran out of time before I could merge it. I do believe in using bzImage but I also believe in using a standard format in a standard way if at all possible instead of renting the wheel. So since bzImage cannot express relocation I prefer ELF. That said my work makes bzImage a valid dynamic ELF executable. :) What I do have time to do is post the code I worked on. If nothing else it should be a good source of ideas. The code should be available shortly at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/linux-2.6-reloc.git Hopefully after OLS I will have a few more minutes to follow up on this.
