Nathan,
Thanks for looking at this! I've been receiving broken build info from Andrew's
machinery. I've investigated and learned that CRASH_DUMP can be specified without
KEXEC. I also realized that s390 originally had this right, but in the conversion
I did, I got it wrong.

This v4 series corrects that by having CRASH_DUMP select KEXEC.

The new KEXEC looks like:

config KEXEC
     bool "Enable kexec system call"
     default ARCH_DEFAULT_KEXEC
     depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
     select KEXEC_CORE

which appears to be equivalent, I think the CRASH_DUMP issue is the root problem.

In a separate thread with Arnd Bergmann wrt/ arm build issues, he identifies
similar problems&solutions as you did, but points out that CRASH_DUMP might still
need some refinement; I'm looking into that.

The goal really is to make this series to result in equivalent configs as before,
but there are small problems in the conversion that are showing up that I'm working.

I'm not going to pretend I know when this will make it...
