Hi Mohamed,

Nice work.  SGI is very interested in getting this into a state such
that it can be integrated into the LKCD project and usable on our Altix
systems.  I plan to have some patches ready for it over the course of
the next few weeks, including support for some additional disk drivers.

I'll send an initial volley of patches momentarily.  This first round
will mostly be cleanup and build fixes:

[PATCH 1/5] Split out polling config option and fix non-module builds
  This makes polling mode block device support a separate config option
  from interrupt-driven block device support, and makes it buildable
  either as a module or compiled into the kernel.  A number of symbols
  in dump_pollingdev.c have been renamed to avoid clashing with their
  counterparts in dump_blockdev.c.

[PATCH 2/5] Clean up dump_pollingdev.c #includes
  This removes some unneeded #includes, and puts the rest into a more
  conventional order.  It also removes an unused extern declaration of
  dump_page_buf.

[PATCH 3/5] Remove unused sysfs functions
  This removes a couple of vestigial sysfs related functions from the
  diskdump codebase which aren't hooked up to anything in the LKCD
  codebase.

[PATCH 4/5] Remove unused diskdump_setup_timestamp export
  This removes an export which doesn't seem to be used by anything.

[PATCH 5/5] Remove unused partition selection code
  This removes some partition selection code which was a vestige of
  dump_pollingdev.c's diskdump heritage and isn't used by LKCD.
