Turns out, systemd's shutdown implementation fork/execs the kexec binary
from kexec-tools; this is missing from the /run/initramfs finalrd.
systemd then falls through to reboot:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/a859abf062cef1511e4879c4ee39c6036ebeaec8/src/shutdown/shutdown.c#L557
One way to fix it might be for finalrd to "copy_exec /sbin/kexec" if it
exists. Alternatively, the kexec-tools package might ship a finalrd
hook instead.
