[PATCH] [RFC] Pass a valid token to rats_call() in phyp-dump code.

ibm_configure_kernel_dump, is passed as the token to rtas_call() but I
cannot see where it is initialised.  Set it to something sane?

Yes, please.

Would be good to know whether the dump area registration and dump
retrieval are working with your changes.  Doesn't look like they could
have worked at all with this bug.

Yes,

That is required. It is in the patches that I sent to Ben, Paul & Brad.

I just waiting to post it with other patches.

Seems sane as a fix, just a note that whoever needs to apply this
patch should fix the Subject line to say "rtas" and not "rats".

Though rats is applicable at times :)
