Well, honestly I don't understand the reason behind it.

If it's about dependencies between the kexec binary and the kernel
version -- there are also dependencies between makedumpfile and crash to
the kernel version. Should we move makedumpfile and crash in the kernel
tree, too (which means that we have a GDB copy in the kernel tree)?
