Do you actually need this bool? Why not call kexec_crash_loaded() instead?
The two have different meanings:
"in_crash_kexec" indicates that kdump is taking place, while
kexec_crash_loaded() tells us only whether crash dump kernel has been
loaded or not.

It is crucial to distinguish them especially for machine_kexec()
which can be called on normal kexec even if kdump has been set up.
Ah, I see. So how about just doing:

  if (kimage == kexec_crash_image)

in machine_kexec?
Yeah, it should work.
Do you want to merge the following hunk,
or expect that I will re-send the whole patch series
(with other changes if any)?
