Most of these patches have been submitted upstream in the past; The main new one is patch 4 which introduces the crashtables mechanism of passing information to the crashdump kernel using ELF CORE notes. The set of patches (ported to xen-4.1) have been tested against a wide range of hardware. Changes since v1: * Drop the top-of-mem patch. It was convaing information very similar information to other memory variables, in a less sensible way. Therefore, use max_page in preference. Signed-off-by: Andrew Cooper
