Hi Andrew,

I realized that my recent kdump postings will break powerpc and s390 build if
CONFIG_KEXEC=y. Attached is the patch to fix it. Patch is diffed against
2.6.15-rc1-mm2.

Thanks
Vivek 



o crash_setup_regs() is an architecture dependent function which is called
  in architecture independent section. So every architecture supporting 
  kexec should at least provide a dummy definition of crash_setup_regs() even
  if crash dumping is not implemented yet, to avoid build failures.
