+Description:
+		The /sys/kernel/notifiers/<notifier>/<notifier_block>/priority
+		file controls notifier_block order on notifier. Writing to this
+		file will insert the notifier_block to appropriate place that is

[PATCH 3/3] Move crash_kexec() into panic_notifier, take4

[Takenori Nagano]

This patch moves crash_kexec() into panic_notifier. If you want to use it,
you have to set config option DUMP_ON_PANIC_NOTIFIER to Y. Its default value
is N. If you set DUMP_ON_PANIC_NOTIFIER to N, kdump has no difference before.

Thanks,

NAK.  This patch is broken and does not accomplish what it
sets out to accomplish.
