I don't think that's it, linux/kexec.h already gets included indirectly.  
The problem is that CONFIG_KEXEC isn't set so the definition in kexec.h is 
meaningless.

This comes from "vmcore: check NT_VMCORE_PAD as a mark indicating the end 
of ELF note buffer" merged through the -mm tree.  I've added the patch's 
author and Andrew to the cc.

How can this be protected by CONFIG_KEXEC?
