All three of your patches need a good 1-line description in the
subject and better description - one which is comprehensible to
someone who doesn't know all the internals of kdump, and with correct
English grammar.  I had to read this one about 4 times before I got
much of an idea what it was supposed to be about.  Please resubmit all
three patches in your series.

Paul.
