[PATCH 9/10] kdump: read previous kernel's memory

From: Vivek Goyal
Date: Thu Nov 17 2005 - 08:29:26 EST




o Moving the crash_dump.c file to arch dependent part as
kmap_atomic_pfn is specific to i386 and highmem may not
exist in other archs.

o Use ioremap for x86_64 to map the previous kernel memory.

o In copy_oldmem_page(), we now directly copy to the user/kernel
buffer and avoid the unneccesary copy to a kmalloc'd page.
