I posted the initial version [1] of patchset [2] adding support to enforce
additional parameters when firmware-assisted dump capture kernel is active.
Michal reposted it with few improvements to parameter processing to make
it more robust. He further posted patchset [3] with few more improvements.

This patch series clubs the work from these two patch-sets while segregating
the generic and arch-specific code to ease the review process.

Hello,

We still have this series flagged as "new" in powerpc's patchwork.

It is still of interest ?

Patch 1 applies but patch 2 hardly conflicts in init/main.c

So I'll flag it as "change requested", fell free to resubmit if still 
relevant.

Or if you think that's still required but don't plan to handle it, tell 
me and I'll open an issue in our issue board so that we don't loose history.

Thanks
Christophe
