Please make sure you get more reviews on the code and the general concept. A few things I noticed while looking at it: * You put a lot of code into #define CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP. Isn't the same approach necessary to for KEXEC? * Please get rid of all the pr_debug stuff. * I think it makes sense to put the functions to access the IOMMU configuration values of the old kernel into a new file. This is better than adding over 1000 new lines to intel-iommu.c * I have seen your new single-patch for this change. A single patch with more than 1200 changed lines is not something anyone is willing to review. Please split the patches again in a meaningful and bisectable way. Thanks, Joerg
