The kdump starts 2nd kernel without any error message when I use
3.18.0-rc4 merged last 6 patchs. The following is the message which 2nd
kernel prints during booting.

Patchset:
	0001-iommu-vt-d-Update-iommu_attach_domain-and-its-caller.patch
	0002-iommu-vt-d-Items-required-for-kdump.patch
	0003-iommu-vt-d-data-types-and-functions-used-for-kdump.patch
	0004-iommu-vt-d-Add-domain-id-functions.patch
	0005-iommu-vt-d-enable-kdump-support-in-iommu-module.patch
