I'm open to suggestions.  My current inclination is to abandon the
existing kexec/kdump patches that are currently in my test tree[1] and
replace them with the latest set of patches.  So a re-diff of all that
is considered good against 2.6.18 would be ideal for that.

Breaking the patch into some smaller pieces would also be good,
but I don't think this needs to be taken to extremes (just define
a few basic areas and split the patch ... I don't thing it is
worth spending days/weeks to split this into a sequence  of 37 individually
crafted patches, with the kernel being fully functional at every
one of the 36 intermediate points).

[1] My test tree is not a guaranteed monotonic increasing sequence of
changesets.  I've already blown it away once before to clean out all
the crufty "Auto-update from upstream" commits that my workflow generates.
It's due for another clean-up anyway.
