[PATCH 0/2] kexec-tools: ARM kernel crashdump support

[Mika Westerberg]

Hello,

These patches bring ARM kernel crashdump support for kexec-tools. They need
kernel support which was posted on LAKML while ago[1]. I should've sent them
both at the same time so that people actually could try them but apparently I
didn't. Sorry about that. I can sent the whole series again if preferred.

Only zImage format is currently supported.

In addition, I have modified sample gdb macros from
kernel/Documentation/kdump/gdbmacrox.txt to work with ARM crashdumps. They are
included in the end of this email in case someone finds them useful.

I have been testing these on my N900.

Thanks,
MW
