Here are a set of patches which adds kdump support for Power6.

The first patch reads VRMA page size from device tree.

Second patch adds Kexec/Kdump support for Power6 processor. 
On Power machines supporting VRMA, Kexec/Kdump does not work.
Hypervisor stores VRMA mapping used by the OS, in the hpte 
hash tables. This patch makes sure these hpte entries are 
left untouched.

Comments are welcome.

Thanks
