On s390 it is possible to create kernel dumps with other dump mechanisms than kdump (e.g. via hypervisor dump or stand-alone dump tools). For those dumps it would also be desirable to include the vmcoreinfo data. To accomplish this, with this patch the vmcoreinfo ELF note is always initialized, not only in case of a (kdump) crash. On s390 we will add an ABI defined pointer at a well known address to vmcoreinfo so that dump analysis tools are able to find this information.
