I got that. I am trying to remember that in 3.10 why are we dropping
to real mode in s390 while copying pages.

I thought dropping to real mode was needed only to access HSA region.
HSA region comes into the picture only for zfcudump and /proc/vmcore support
for zfcpdump is not there yet

IOW, what if we start copying with page tables enabled in s390. Will
it not work for regular kdump case and take care of zfcpdump in 3.12.

Thanks
Vivek
