Most of these patches have been submitted upstream in the past; They are largely unchanged in this new submission. The main new one is patch 4 which introduces the crashtables mechanism of passing information to the crashdump kernel using ELF CORE notes. The set of patches (ported to xen-4.1) have been tested against a wide range of hardware. Signed-off-by: Andrew Cooper
