Re: [PATCH v2 2/5] ia64: reuse append_elf_note() and final_note() functions

[Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com>]

Hi Hari

Personally I like V1 more, but split the patch 2 is easier for ia64
people to reivew.  I did basic x86 testing, it runs ok.

The above IA64 version looks better than the functions in kexec_core.c
about the Elf64_Word type usage and the simpler final_note function.

Care to update crash_core.c to use this instead?

Otherwise I'm fine with the changes.
