A new kernel config, CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is introduced in recent kernel version. This config introduces a safer systemcall to load a kexec kernel. Now kexec kernel can be loaded by both the old and the new systemcalls. So, kdump test should check for either of KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE config for determining the kernel's ability.
