Subject: [PATCH 0/3] kexec: crash_kexec_post_notifiers boot option related
 fixes

This is a bugfix patch set for crash_kexec_post_notifiers boot option
which allows users to call panic notifiers and kmsg dumpers before
kdump.

The main patch is PATCH 3/3, and it fixes two problems reported by
Daniel Walker (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/24/44). 

 Problem 1:
 If crash_kexec_post_notifiers boot option is specified, some
 shutting down process which assume other cpus are still alive
 don't work properly.

 Problem 2:
 If crash_kexec_post_notifiers boot option is specified, register
 information of other cpus are not saved to crash dumps.

PATCH 3/3 is also another solution for a bug reported by Daisuke
Hatayama (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/15/284).  So, this patch
replace commits 5375b70 and f45d85f which fix the bug.

Hidehiro Kawai (3):
      panic: Disable crash_kexec_post_notifiers if kdump is not available
      kexec: Pass panic message to crash_kexec()
      kexec: Change the timing of callbacks related to "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" boot option
