patch question

Hi,
I am using 2.2.10 with the kernel-message-dump patch applied and I would
like to upgrate to 2.2.11 and 2.2.12. However, applying 2.2.11 patch gives
me .rej for panic.c. My question is what is the notifier_call_chain call
doing and has it to be inserted after the first '#endif' or before the
'if (panic_timeout > 0)' ?

Could you help me, please ?

kernel/panic.c.rej:

***************
*** 56,61 ****
#ifdef __SMP__
smp_send_stop();
#endif
if (panic_timeout > 0)
{
/*
--- 59,67 ----
#ifdef __SMP__
smp_send_stop();
#endif
+
+ notifier_call_chain(&panic_notifier_list, 0, NULL);
+
if (panic_timeout > 0)
{
/*

my panic.c:

#ifdef __SMP__
smp_send_stop();
#endif

#if defined(__i386__) && defined(CONFIG_KMSG_DUMP)
/* We allow SysRq to be used for <panic_timeout> seconds, and
then the dump is forced. This way, if IRQs are frozen and
keyboard doesn't respond anymore, the system can dump messages
and reboot itself.
*/
printk(KERN_EMERG "Dumping messages in %d seconds : last chance
for Alt-
SysRq...",
panic_timeout);
sti();
for(panic_timeout*=10; panic_timeout>0; panic_timeout--) {
CHECK_EMERGENCY_SYNC;
mdelay(100);
}
machine_dump(0); /* 0 tells machine_dump that it's called
from pa
nic() */
#else
if (panic_timeout > 0)
{
/*

Thanks
