[PATCH -next] debugfs: no longer needs to depend on SYSFS
From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap(a)oracle.com> debugfs no longer uses 'kernel_subsys' (which is gone), and other kernel/ksysfs.c code is always built, so DEBUG_FS does not need to depend on SYSFS.

[PATCH] x86, UV: make kdump avoid stack dumps
This patch is the same as one sent Jun18 2010. It doesn't seem to have been noticed. UV NMI callback's should not write stack dumps when a kdump is to be written. When invoking the crash kernel to write a dump, kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus() uses NMI's to get all the cpu's to save their register context and h... 20 Jul 2010 20:10
