Hi,
please let me try to add a bit of context and explain three IMHO
crucial points of the proposed patch.
First, it is meant to work without any changes to config-files
on 'linux'-systems, simply by calling `grub-emu --kexec`.
And, called this way, it actually uses `systemctl kexec` exclusively

I like it in general however I had a comment: in future GRUB could be able
to do the same through second approach: load a constructed kexec blob with
all the parts. This would allow to e.g. kexec FreeBSD. This didn't have to
be implemented now. Meanwhile can we use "kexec" as command name? It's

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
