[RFC PATCH 0/4] eppic: Create kernel version compatible scripts

[Atsushi Kumagai]

Hello Kamalesh,

>This patch series creates eppic scripts a for range kernel versions
>they are compatible with. Eppic scripts directory host sample
>scripts to scrub sensitive information from the dump file generated
>using makedumpfile.
>
>The initial version of these scripts was based on Fedora 19 kernel.
>In brief, these scripts rely on hard coded kernel data structure
>member offsets. Kernel data structures are bound to change in due course
>and leading to failure when assumptions about the offsets differ.
>
>Atsushi-San suggested that, it's better to have different version of
>eppic scripts, those will be valid for the range of kernel release and
>their naming convention hinting, of the release they are valid across.
>
>The first patch renames the existing eppic script to reflect the kernel
>release they are compatible with. Following the format:
><eppic_script>-<valid from kernel version>_to_<valid until kernel version>.c
>
>Rest of three patches creates new eppic scripts to match with the kernel
>data structures they work with.

Thank you for reflecting my comments, looks good to me.
v1.6.1 is ready now, these patches will be merged into v1.6.2.

Thanks,
Atsushi Kumagai
