Has there been a release of kexec-tools with things arranged they
way they currently are?

Can we document this behaviour and the related undocumented options?

How about:

        if (do_kexec_file_syscall) {
                result = ...;
                /* Comment */
                if (do_kexec_fallback &&
                    (result == -EINVAL || result == -ENOEXEC))
                        do_kexec_file_syscall = 0;
        }
        if (!do_kexec_file_syscall)
                result = ...;
