Subject: Handle kernelcore= boot parameter in common code to avoid boot problem on IA64
From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
When "kernelcore" boot option is specified, kernel can't boot up on ia64
because of an infinite loop. In addition, the parsing code can be handled
in an architecture-independent manner.
