2. Kdump can possibly fail on SMP machines if crash occurs on non-boot
cpu. Hari is finalizing the stop gap patch to handle this problem.
Is this finished ? (It seems it is not in 2.6.11-rc2-mm1.)
I found a bug in drivers/pcmcia/ds.c for version 2.6.11rc2 (from
linux-mips CVS) that was causing initialization problems with the second
card when I had two PCMCIA wireless cards in my AMD Alchemy DB1100
board. Here is the patch:

Code references these vars even though they don't exist.
Untested other than compile test.

Right, that's a pre-req.
I currently have:

Nope - what it tries to do is to set default_vmode and default_cmode.
See 2.6.11-rc3, it got a fix for that one.

OK, unary minus is fine then.
What about using 'value' in place of 'fx(0)'?

The macro was duplicated in -mm1.

The patch went upstream without the perfctr-ppc.patch, which contained
