Thanks for the effort to make it and improve. And add Kazu and Simon to
the CC because they maintain kexec-tools and makedumpfile utility.

For better reviewing, I would suggest splitting the patches into
differet patchset for different component or repo. Here, it's obviouly
has kernel patchset, kexec-tools patch and makedumpfile patchset.

For the kernel patches, it looks straightforward and clear, if Dan can
approve it from nvdimm side, everything should be fine. Then next we can
focus on the relevant kexec-tools and makedumpfile utility support.

Thanks
Baoquan
