A little.  It sounds like you are handing off to a bootloader?

The basic question is if I want to boot something other than the linux
kernel with kexec will that work?  Assuming the appropriate user space
side is in place.

I'm really trying to understand how you can execute either 32bit or
64bit code with the same binary interface.  Is it something like ppc
where the same instructions work regardless of mode?   But even
the ppc has a mode.
