Re: [PATCH 1/8] pseries: phyp dump: Docmentation

At the risk of repeating what others have already said, the PHYP-assistance

 - Availability of the system for production use before the dump data is

to operate with the limited memory initially available after the reboot, 
but it sure is nice to provide the option.

I'm more concerned that this design encourages the user to resume a
workload *which is almost certainly known to result in a system crash*
before collection of crash data is complete.  Maybe the gamble will
pay off most of the time, but I wouldn't want to be working support
when it doesn't.
