Marc, it has been discussed for long time, I think kdump code can be
logically splitted from this series so that we can get the kexec
done first? 

The basis for kexec are already on their way to mainline, as part of the
hibernate series that James has put together.

I'd expect someone to:

1) rebase the remaining kexec/kdump patches based on the current
arm64/for-next/core,
2) post these patches when -rc1 gets cut in two weeks from now,
3) address the review comments in a timely manner,
4) update the series once a week so that we see some actual progress

If this happens, I can't see any reason why this code wouldn't get
merged. But keeping kexec and kdump together is not what has prevented
the code from getting merged until now.

Cool, thanks a lot for the clarification about the situation.

Dave
