93a72052be crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn
The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0
backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in
connected state.  To run the connection reset function only in case of a
crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV
driver modules.

Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
usable for modules.

Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().  This changes powerpc from __setup()
to early_param().  It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64
and powerpc.

57cac4d188 kdump: make elfcorehdr_addr independent of CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE
o elfcorehdr_addr is used by not only the code under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE
  but also by the code which is not inside CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE.  For
  example, is_kdump_kernel() is used by powerpc code to determine if
  kernel is booting after a panic then use previous kernel's TCE table.
  So even if CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE is not set in second kernel, one should be
  able to correctly determine that we are booting after a panic and setup
  calgary iommu accordingly.

o So remove the assumption that elfcorehdr_addr is under
  CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE.

o Move definition of elfcorehdr_addr to arch dependent crash files.
  (Unfortunately crash dump does not have an arch independent file
  otherwise that would have been the best place).

o kexec.c is not the right place as one can Have CRASH_DUMP enabled in
  second kernel without KEXEC being enabled.

o I don't see sh setup code parsing the command line for
  elfcorehdr_addr.  I am wondering how does vmcore interface work on sh.
  Anyway, I am atleast defining elfcoredhr_addr so that compilation is not
  broken on sh.

8a697d0a4c [IA64] kexec: Minor enhancement to includes in crash.c
linux/uaccess.h was being included, but it seems that
really the following includes are needed.

asm/page.h: for __va() and PAGE_SHIFT
asm/uaccess.h: for copy_to_user()

I guess that linux/uaccess.h pulls in both asm/page.h and asm/uaccess.h.
I notices this while backporting the code to xen's linux-2.6.16.33,
which does not have linux/uaccess.h. I'm posting it as I think it is a
correct, though somewhat cosmetic fix.

45a98fc622 [IA64] CONFIG_KEXEC/CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP permutations
Actually, on reflection I think that there is a good case for
keeping the options separate. I am thinking particularly of people
who want a very small crashdump kernel and thus don't want to compile
in kexec.

The patch below should fix things up so that all valid combinations of
KEXEC, CRASH_DUMP and VMCORE compile cleanly - VMCORE depends on
CRASH_DUMP which is why I said valid combinations. In a nutshell
it just untangles unrelated code and switches around a few defines.

Please note that it creats a new file, arch/ia64/kernel/crash_dump.c
This is in keeping with the i386 implementation.
