Looking back at this 5 years later it seems that I misread the man page.
With no options it is supposed to require a kernel image to load and
execute. If you just want to execute the already loaded image, you run
kexec -e.

kexec is broken
Status in kexec-tools package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
After loading the new kernel wit kexec -l, the man page says to run
kexec without any arguments and it will do a clean shutdown, then
kexec. Running kexec without any arguments results in:
"No kernel specified" followed by help text.
