Because:
+ kexec_image_info is required if we want to show information for an
image loaded via kexec_file_load (with kexec-tools or any other
tool e.g. u-root),
+ this is where both interfaces meet and it is easy to compare
their results,
+ I consider showing results as close to the end of a code path as
possible more reliable.
