It was part of the prep for the KTPI code from what I can tell. If you think it should be reverted, just let me know and I'll be glad to do so.
No preference here. I have to patch master regardless if I want kdump to work while I patiently wait for userspace to get fixed up (either that or use time I don't have to go fix it up myself).
I'll stay "bug compatible" for the time being. If you do fix this up, can you add a cc: stable tag in your patch so I can pick it up when it gets merged?
Userspace (makedumpfile) will have to adapt, not the kernel. Meanwhile I carry reverts, making kernels, kdump and myself all happy campers.
