    [POWERPC] kdump shutdown hook support · 496b010e
    Michael Neuling authored
    This adds hooks into the default_machine_crash_shutdown so drivers can
    register a function to be run in the first kernel before we hand off
    to the second kernel.  This should only be used in exceptional
    circumstances, like where the device can't be reset in the second
    kernel alone (as is the case with eHEA).  To emphasize this, the
    number of handles allowed to be registered is currently #def to 1.
    
    This uses the setjmp/longjmp code around the call out to the
    registered hooks, so any bogus exceptions we encounter will hopefully
    be recoverable.
    
    Tested with bogus data and instruction exceptions.
