The patches look OK to me.  I suggest that they be carried in Martin's
tree, alongside the s390 kdump support.  That will somewhat simplify
things during the merge window, and will greatly simplify getting the
entire feature into linux-next.

You can put my acked-by's on them if you like.

I'll put the patches into my tree (and hence linux-next) now, because I
need the typing practice ;) I'll drop them again if/when they turn up
in linux-next's s390 tree.
