[PATCH] Backport kdump capability to 2.6.20 kernel

["Kevin Worth" <kworth@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jay and others,
I've attached two patches that nearly backport KDB's kdump capability
to the 2.6.20 kernel. I marked them as "ubuntu" because I'm patching
against the Ubuntu 7.04 kernel, though the only difference as far as
KDB is concerned is a couple lines in ohci-pci.c.

I think I got the arch-independent part right, as I can apply the
patch cleanly against my source tree. However, I haven't been able to
test it yet because I can't apply the arch-dependent (i386) patch
successfully. It appears that at some point an arch-independent
(between i386 and x86_64) directory called "x86" was added. As such, I
can't patch the files linux/arch/x86/kdb/kdba_support.c and
linux/arch/x86/kernel/crash.c because they simply aren't there. Trying
to figure out what I can do from here and would appreciate if anyone
is able to lend a hand or some insight.
