<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- During CPU(s) hang scenarios, kdump
could not stop these CPUs. However, the user could invoke soft-reset to
shoot down CPUs reliably. But, when the debugger is enabled, these CPUs
are returned to hang state after they exited from the debugger. This patch
fixes this issue by calling crash_kexec_secondary() before returns to previous
state. </font>
