How do you plan to support kdump?

When kexec is fully supported kdump should work out of the box
as for any other ethernet card (if you load the right eth driver).
There's nothing specific to kdump you have to handle in
ethernet device drivers.
Hope I didn't miss anything here...

Perhaps. When we kdump the kernel does not call the reboot notifiers, so
the code Jan-Bernd just added won't get called. So the eHEA resources
won't be freed. When the kdump kernel tries to load the eHEA driver what
will happen?

cheers
