Hi Vivek and Eric,
IMHO, why don't we swap not only the contents of the top 640K
but also kernel working memory for kdump kernel?
I guess this approach has some good points.
1.Preallocating reserved area is not mandatory at boot time.
And the reserved area can be distributed in small pieces

Nope - what it tries to do is to set default_vmode and default_cmode.

It's basically just like the code says.
A lot of devices choke if you access them too quickly after enumeration.
The 5 second delay seems to be enough for most devices. But we made it
