This patch adapts the ppc64 code to use the generic parse_crashkernel()
function introduced in the generic patch of that series.

I really don't like to see patches get a wholesale replacement, especially
when they've been looked at by a few people and have had some testing, etc.
It's not possible to see what changed and people need to re-review stuff
they've already reviewed, etc.

So I almost always undo this mess, turn the patches back into incremental
ones, see what pops out.

This patch is actually:

which I suspect will now create a compiler warning.

}

if (crash_size == 0)
return;

If so, the use of uninitialized_var() would be better than the unneeded
initialization-to-zero.

Hi,

Sorry, I didn't know that this is the preferred way. I just thought
it's more clear if the patches are replaced if the patch set is

No, it doesn't. I just verified this.

CHK include/linux/compile.h
CC arch/powerpc/kernel/machine_kexec.o
LD arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o

Thanks,
Bernhard
