Subject: [PATCH] loader: Add support for grub-emu to kexec Linux menu entries
The GRUB emulator is used as a debugging utility but it could also be
used as a user-space bootloader if there is support to boot an operating
system.
The Linux kernel is already able to (re)boot another kernel via the
kexec boot mechanism. So the grub-emu tool could rely on this feature
and have linux and initrd commands that are used to pass a kernel,
initramfs image and command line parameters to kexec for booting
a selected menu entry.
By default the systemctl kexec option is used so systemd can shutdown
all of the running services before doing a reboot using kexec. But if
this is not present, it can fall back to executing the kexec user-space
tool directly. The ability to force a kexec-reboot when systemctl kexec
fails must only be used in controlled environments to avoid possible
filesystem corruption and data loss.

+GRUB can be run in userspace by invoking the grub2-emu tool. It will

+kexec(8) support from the operating system, the @command{linux} command
