Move xen patchset to new version's subdir.

[people/teissler/ipfire-2.x.git] / src / patches / suse-2.6.27.31 / patches.suse / kdump-dump_after_notifier.patch

From: Takenori Nagano <t-nagano@ah.jp.nec.com>
Subject: [PATCH] Add dump_after_notifier sysctl
Patch-mainline: never
References: 265764

This patch adds dump_after_notifier sysctl to execute kdump after the notifier
call chain. This basically makes it possible to execute KDB before kdump.

Signed-off-by: Takenori Nagano <t-nagano@ah.jp.nec.com>
Acked-by: Bernhard Walle <bwalle@suse.de>
