[Crash-utility] [PATCH v2 0/4] Compressed KDUMP core analysis support for PPC32

[Dave Anderson]

Hi Suzuki,

Aside from making the dump_Elf32_Nhdr() change PPC-only, this patch
looks OK.

Because of the non-PPC changes you made in diskdump.c, I'm going to
have to test a set of x86 and x86_64 dumpfiles, which I'll set to run
overnight.  But can you give me a sample compressed kdump vmcore
and its vmlinux so I can actually see this patch work?  (through the
same channel that we used for the other two dumpfiles)

Thanks,
  Dave
