Hi,
Signed-off-by: Albert Herranz
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The following patch prevents the crash dump helper
code found within kexec from breaking ppc which still
lacks crash dump functionality.
As discussed in [1], ksysfs crash_notes attribute
handling was left under CONFIG_KEXEC for simplicity
although it is not strictly kexec related.
We provide here a dummy definition for crash_notes on
ppc.
Cheers,
Albert
