To support ehea driver reloading in a kdump kernel the driver has to perform firmware handle deregistrations when the original kernel crashes. As there's currently no notifier chain for machine crashes this patch enables kdump support in the ehea driver by bending the ppc_md.machine_crash_shutdown hook to its own machine crash handler. The original machine_crash_shutdown() fn is called afterwards. This works fine as long as the ehea driver is the only one which does so. Problems may occur if other drivers do the same and unload regularly . This patch enables 2.6.24-rc2 to use kdump with ehea and only puts a very low risk on base kernel. In 2.6.24 we know ehea is the only user of this mechanism. The next step for 2.6.25 would be to add a proper notifier chain. The full solution might be that register_reboot_notifier() provides sth like a SYS_CRASH action. Please apply.
If we are going to do this workaround, I'd prefer the notifier chain be done correctly now. The way it's hacked in here, it's more likely to cause even more issues. Either way, if this is going to go in, it at least needs to be acked by Paulus.
