    [IA64] Kexec/Kdump: honour non-zero crashkernel offset. · ad1c3ba7
    Horms authored
    There seems to be a value in both allowing the kernel to determine
    the base offset of the crashkernel automatically and allowing
    users's to sepcify it.
    
    The old behaviour on ia64, which is still the current behaviour on
    most architectures is for the user to always specify the address.
    Recently ia64 was changed so that it is always automatically determined.
    
    With this patch the kernel automatically determines the offset if
    the supplied value is 0, otherwise it uses the value provided.
    
    This should probably be backed by a documentation change.
