You might want to run it through checkpatch - some of them are actually,
to my surprise, legitimate :)

Just some minor nitpicks below...

Looks like this wants to be a bool.

Why a separate function? It is used only once in the next patch.

You probably want to drop this "out:" label and simply return the error
value directly in each error path above for simplicity.

Dunno, it could probably be a larger restructuring effort but if you
do load a segment and sanity-check it right after loading, instead of
loading all of them first and then iterating over them, you could save
yourself some work in the error case when a segment fails the check.

This is freed after kzalloc'ing it a bit earlier, why not make it a
stack variable for simplicity? struct kexec_buf doesn't seem that
large...
