Is purgatory/kexec supported for CONFIG_X86_32? Should I be keeping
`-m$(BITS)`? arch/x86/purgatory/Makefile mentions
`setup-x86_$(BITS).o` which I assume is broken as there is no
arch/x86/purgatory/setup-x86_32.S?

The changes suggested will cause undefined symbols while loading the new kernel.
On doing 'nm purgatory.ro', I found below undefined symbols:

U bmcp
U __stack_chk_fail

Thanks for the report, a v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/23/864
(Tested v3 with defconfig, defconfig+CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER,
+CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG, and allyesconfig)
