Looking into upstream code: ppc has only support of elf and uImage,and so they work.
Just curious to know , why the zImage support is still not provided in the kexec for ppc ??
Probably because no one needed it till now.
Is there any restriction from kexec design point of view ?
I do not think. You can write a patch. I see, ppc64 has zImage support, so you can take that as example and can write code for ppc as well.
