Hi Will,

Thanks to you reply. How about the first one of the patch
series named "[PATCH 1/3] ARM : kdump : Add LPAE support".

Now the ARM linux will simply return error when parse an
LPAE enabled kernel, becausethe commit 4b3bf7ae provide
zero vmcore_elf64_check_arch(). So if we want parse LPAE
enabled kernel, we need that one.

Thanks,
Liu Hua
