2012-03-11[S390] kernel: Add OS info memory interfaceMichael Holzheu
In order to allow kdump based stand-alone dump, some information has to be passed from the old kernel to the new dump kernel. This is done via a the struct "os_info" that contains the following fields: * crashkernel base and size * reipl block * vmcoreinfo * init function A pointer to os_info is stored at a well known storage location and the whole structure as well as all fields are secured with checksums.
