[Andrew Morton]

The patch titled
     Subject: kexec: make crashk_res, crashk_low_res and crash_notes symbols always visible
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kexec-make-crashk_res-crashk_low_res-and-crash_notes-symbols-always-visible.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: kexec: make crashk_res, crashk_low_res and crash_notes symbols always visible

Patch series "kexec: use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE) instead of #ifdef", v2.

Replace the conditional compilation using "#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE" by a
check for "IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE)", to simplify the code and
increase compile coverage.

I only modified x86, arm, arm64 and riscv, other architectures such as sh,
powerpc and s390 are better to be kept kexec code as-is so they are not
touched.


This patch (of 5):

Make the forward declarations of crashk_res, crashk_low_res and
crash_notes always visible.  Code referring to these symbols can then just
check for IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE), instead of requiring conditional
compilation using an #ifdef, thus preparing to increase compile coverage
and simplify the code.
