Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/4] proc/vmcore: allow archs to override vmcore_elf_check_arch()
Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2010 09:53:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101115075348.GR17801@esdhcp04058.research.nokia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <df680f67f33d8b0ef815045b53f205b3ff35de63.1289292124.git.mika.westerberg@iki.fi>
Hi Andrew,
Do you have any comments on this patch? If it is ok, could you consider picking
it up?
I should've probably sent it as a separate patch since it is now burried into
"ARM kdump fixes" -thread and thus harder to spot. Sorry about that.
Regards,
MW
