[patch 4/6] kdump: use is_kdump_kernel() in sba_init()

From: Simon Horman
Date: Wed Jul 30 2008 - 21:31:43 EST


o Make use of is_kdump_kernel() rather than checking elfcorehdr_addr directly.

o Remove CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP as is_kdump_kernel() is safe to call anywhere

o Remove CONFIG_PROC_FS as it is bogus, the check
should occur regardless of if CONFIG_PROC_FS is set or not.

Andrew, this patch fixes bug in the (unlikely) case where
an ia64 crashdump kernel does not have CONFIG_PROC_FS set.
I think it is worth including in 2.6.27. But breakage cases are
likely to be minimal to non-existent, so I am comfortable
with post 2.6.27 too.
