[RFC PATCH v7 00/10] fadump: Firmware-assisted dump support for Powerpc.

From: Mahesh Salgaonkar

This patch registers for firmware-assisted dump using rtas token
ibm,configure-kernel-dump. During registration firmware is informed about
the reserved area where it saves the CPU state data, HPTE table and contents
of RMR region at the time of kernel crash. Apart from this, firmware also
preserves the contents of entire partition memory even if it is not specified
during registration.

This patch also populates sysfs files under /sys/kernel to display
fadump status and reserved memory regions.

This patch introduces fadump_registered sysfs control file which will be
used by kdump init scripts to start/stop firmware assisted dump. echo 1 to
/sys/kernel/fadump_registered file for fadump registration and
echo 0 to /sys/kernel/fadump_registered file for fadump un-registration.
