Shouldn't this be Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-fadump_mem_reserved?
How about documenting fadump_mem_reserved and other sysfs attributes suggested
by you in a single file Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-fadump?
I wouldn't mind that but please do check if it is breaking a convention..
AIUI a file named like that would hold the documentation for the files
inside a directory called /sys/kernel/fadump.

And in fact that's probably where these files should live, rather than
just dropped directly into /sys/kernel.
Michael, could that be corrected now by introducing new sysfs files for FADump in
/sys/kernel/fadump/.

Also, duplicating current /sys/kernel/fadump_* files as /sys/kernel/fadump/* files
& eventually dropping /sys/kernel/fadump_* files sometime later..
