> [PATCH 1/4] kdump : add support for ibm, dynamic-reconfiguration-memory for kexec/kdump 

Please change the name of the individual patches 

BTW this patch doesn't apply against the powerpc-next tree.  Please use
that tree, not Linus tree.

Please document what you are trying to achieve here

sprintf(buf, "linux,usable-memory%d", (int)n);
??

There is similar code to this above.  Can this be merged?  Why
0x80000000ul anyway?

Is this "continue" needed?  

Also, this comment is useless.  We know what a continue does :-)

Again, we can do this in a single sprintf, like above...

Can you please use a while or for loop rather than a goto.
