Hi Dave,
I've reworked patch about ppc "bt" problem discussed in
https://www.redhat.com/archives/crash-utility/2012-June/msg00029.html
A patch is now getting to work only for ppc targets,
and notes are relocatecd in first ppc's "bt", not in
initialization-time.
And I've tested both "bt" diskdump by makedumpfile and netdump by
/proc/vmcore with patched kernel like
void crash_save_cpu(struct pt_regs *regs, int cpu)
if ((cpu % 2))
return;
I was worried about beeing able to catch all of non-contiguous NT_PRSTATUS
notes, alternate with invalid odd notes in every process well,
so I modified test case this time (that's no problem, everything OK).
[After initialization: notes are not relocated yet]

OK, doing it that way looks reasonable, and safely segregated to PPC only.
Just two more suggestions -- first, please do me a favor by running
"make warn" prior to posting a patch, and fix these:
$ make warn
TARGET: X86_64
CRASH: 6.0.8rc15

...
Secondly, since your new relocate_nt_prstatus_percpu_ppc() and
verify_crash_note_in_kernel_ppc() functions are used for both
kdump ELF and compressed kdump formats, and since they are
PPC-specific, can you just move the two functions into ppc.c?
All that should require is to #include elf.h.
Thanks,
Dave
