In the source code for kbl-exec, the source code that purports to 
support ordinary ELF
images is commented out with "#if 0".

See work/kexec-boot-loader/kexec-boot-loader/kexec/kexec.c line 191 and 
kexec-x86.c line 93.

Personally, I think this is a Bad Thing.  Why should it only be possible 
to boot something
that is in a complicated format that is only used by the Linux kernel?
