This patch set contains a significant number of apparently unrelated changes
to Configure.help which removes a large number configuration options that
are supported by the newer kernels (for example, most of the updated ATA
controller options are removed)
Was this the intent?

Subject: ANNOUNCE: Linux Kernel Crash Dumps (LKCD) 2.0 Available
> The 2.0 version of the Linux Kernel Crash Dumps (LKCD) project is now
> available -- this version applies to 2.3.99-pre9 kernels, and includes
> some of Stephen Tweedie's patches for kiobufs (since we need them).
>
> LKCD provides systems with the ability to save a system crash dump when
> the kernel has a panic or exception, and saves the memory to your swap
> space, recovering it on reboot, and creating a crash dump report which
> can be sent to support personnel (or groups like 'lkml', if necessary).

> A few points to note:
>
> - The x86 version works great, but we're still working on the Alpha and
> IA-64 ports. They're coming along, however ... keep reading the LKCD
> News page for updates. Thanks to Brian Hall for his help with the
> Alpha port.
>
> - While you can build the vmdump code as a *module*, and it works, for now
> just build the vmdump code directly into the kernel -- the reason is
> because we still have to build the ability to perform stack traces when
> the code goes through a module. (And that will take some time to
> complete, as it's kind of ugly to do ...)
>
> - We are no longer limited to SCSI devices, like we were with the 2.2
> kernel version. We're going to try to backport the 2.3 changes into
> 2.2, so we have a universal version.
