[PATCH][ia64][kdump] Fix problems on INIT

Hi,

Here are patches for kdump on ia64 to fix the follwing problems:

  - [PATCH 1/2] Fix kernel panic in kdump on INIT

    I encountered the kernel panic when I sent an INIT without
    configuring kdump kernel image. The cause of this problem seems
    that machine_kdump_on_init() uses printk() in INIT
    context. Replacing it with ia64_mca_printk() fixes this problem.
    The panic message is attached at the end of this mail.

  - [PATCH 2/2] Fix kernel hangup in kdump on INIT

    Even after fixing the kernel panic problem mentioned above, I
    encontered the kernel hangup problem when I sent an INIT without
    configuring kdump kernel image. The kdump_init_notifier() on
    monarch CPU stops its operation if the kdump kernel image is not
    configured. On the other hand, kdump_init_notifier() on
    non-monarch CPUs get into spin because they don't know the fact
    the monarch stops its operation. This is the cause of this
    problem.

Thanks,
Kenji Kaneshige
