i.e,
pa (e_entry) = pa(phdr[0].p_vaddr) + (e_entry - phdr[0].p_vaddr)
= kernel_addr + (e_entry - phdr[0].p_vaddr)

To make it bit more clear :
The entry point of the kernel is usually at 0 offset from the first
PT_LOAD section. The current code makes this assumption and uses the
pa(phdr[0].p_vaddr) as the kernel entry.
But this *may* not be true always, in such a case the kexec would fail.
