And we went through the whole kdump process for LPAE enabled ARM. Our changes include kexec-tools, makedumpfile, crash utility and the kernel. But we did that in a rather limited time. So some patches are silly and need to be reconstructed before submission. In addition, my job is quit full now. So I decide to post the patch series that are clear and independent of the others at first. But I got no response from the linux-arm and kexec mailinglist. What about your opinion about the feature of LPAE support for kdump related tools including crash utility and the kernel?
