Me too, but the first patch conflicts somewhat with a few pending
changes in linux-next.  I could fix them up, but would prefer that the
result be tested.  Alex, could you please redo the patches against
linux-next or mmotm?

Also, the patch titles could be improved.  I suggest

	coredump: move core dump functionality into its own file
	coredump: make core dump functionality optional

Documentation/SubmittingPatches section 15 describes the thinking here.

Thanks.
