That way, no flashing would be required. I'll try looking into it.
Actually now that I had time to think about this I guess it is intentional that Nokia kernels do not work correctly with kexec().

See, if it was possible (or easy ) to write a kernel module for the stock aegis-enabled kernel to load up next-stage kernel at will, that would be a serious security breach. That would enable user to load up anything she likes and as far as system knows the device would still stay in closed mode, with all R/W access to CAL enabled.
