Tony / Dinh - can I just *skip* this notifier *if kdump* is set or else
we run the code as-is? Does that make sense to you?

The "skip" option sounds like it needs some special flag associated with
an entry on the notifier chain. But there are other notifier chains ... so that
sounds messy to me.

Just all the notifiers in priority order. If any want to take different actions
based on kdump status, change the code. That seems more flexible than
an "all or nothing" approach by skipping.

I guess I've expressed myself in a poor way - sorry!

What I'm planning to do in the altera_edac notifier is:

if (kdump_is_set)
 return;

/* regular code */

In other words: if the kdump is set, this notifier will be effectively a
nop (although it's gonna be called).

Lemme know your thoughts Tony, if that makes sense.
Thanks,
