I want to estimate importance of your patches for makedumpfile.
I know at least the modules are loaded in the vmalloc'd region. I have
Cc'ed linux-ppc dev. We should be able to get enough info from the
experts here.

Josh / Kumar / Others,

Could you please let us know your thoughts ?
Modules, driver IO mappings, etc... I can see that being useful for
crashdumps.

Cheers,
Ben.
