[PATCH] kdump: Enable kdump if 2nd-kernel is loaded.

[Ken'ichi Ohmichi]

Hi,

This patch enables a kdump if 2nd-kernel is loaded.
(The patch is based on linux-2.6.31-rc2.)

Now, a kdump is enabled if a kernel parameter "oops=panic" is specified and
2nd-kernel is loaded. I think that a kdump should be enabled regardless of
"oops=panic" if 2nd-kernel is loaded, because a system administrator loads
2nd-kernel for enabling a kdump.
