Turns out I'm a little slow in figuring things out. I had the problem
in front of me already.
wrong address for entry. Tried the new kexec-testing tools from horms

it still gave me the same entry.
Have to go back to my kernel port and figure out why the build is not
setting the physical start address correctly.
