I posted the initial version [1] of patchset [2] adding support to enforce additional parameters when firmware-assisted dump capture kernel is active. Michal reposted it with few improvements to parameter processing to make it more robust. He further posted patchset [3] with few more improvements.
This patch series clubs the work from these two patch-sets while segregating the generic and arch-specific code to ease the review process.
