Yes, sorry.

Good idea:

-----

From: Bernhard Walle <bwalle at suse.de>
Subject: Use extended crashkernel command line on IA64
Cc: linux-ia64 at vger.kernel.org

This patch adapts IA64 to use the generic parse_crashkernel() function
instead of its own parsing for the crashkernel command line.

Because the total amount of System RAM must be known when calling this
function, efi_memmap_init() is modified to return its accumulated
total_memory variable in a pointer value. IMO that's better than making the
variable global.

Also, the crashkernel handling is moved in an own function in
arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c to make the code more readable.
