[RFC][patch 1/2] kdump: Add infrastructure for unmapping crashkernel memory

2011-09-08 Thread Michael Holzheu
From: Michael Holzheu This patch introduces a mechanism that allows architecture backends to remove page tables for the crashkernel memory. This can protect the loaded kdump kernel from being overwritten by broken kernel code. A new function crash_map_pages() is added that can be implemented by a
