Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Allow i386 crash kernels to handle x86_64 dumps
Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2007 17:00:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1173891609.8591.41.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

The specific case I am encountering is kdump under Xen with a 64 bit
hypervisor and 32 bit kernel/userspace. The dump created is a 64 bit due
to the hypervisor but the dump kernel is 32 bit to match the domain 0
kernel.

It's possibly less likely to be useful in a purely native scenario but I
see no reason to disallow it.
