File kexec-tools-Add-option-to-revert-s.patch of Package kexec-tools

Subject: kexec: Add option to revert -s
References: bsc#1080916, boo#1076839
Upstream: merged
Git-commit: a8639a304b7b62384fc1c747c35eee7728ce583f
The undocumented -s option selects KEXEC_FILE_LOAD syscall but there is
no option to select KEXEC_LOAD syscall. Add it so -s can be reverted.
