Re: [PATCH V6 0/6] RISC-V fixups to work with crash tool

[Conor.Dooley]

Hey Xianting,
I still think the commit subjects could be more specific, but
not going to suggest wasting your time respinning for that.
Cosmetically:
Reviewed-by: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

@Palmer Would you consider at least patches 1-3 of the series

Thanks,
Conor.
