[Xen-ia64-devel] [rfc 3/3] Set alternate location for /proc/iomem on ia64 xen

[Simon Horman <horms@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Use /proc/iomem_machine for ia64 xen where pysical and machine efi maps
differ.  Without this kexec gets a very jaded view of the world, and
/proc/vmcore after a kdump will only have a partial memory dump. Requires a
companion patch to kexec-tools.
