[Mkdump-devel] Mini-Kernel Dump: my 2.4 backport

[Yotam M. <yo...@ql...>]

With some help of colleagues,
I have back-ported Mini-Kernel-Dump 2.6.6-0.2 to Linux 2.4.

Since Linux 2.4 is still widely used in production sites,
I think it would be beneficial, to have this functionality
merged in future releases of Mini-Kernel Dump.

The attached tar.gz file consists of
  yotamm@yotamm:+/minikernel:702> tar tvfz mkd-bp24-2004-12-09.tgz
  -rw-rw-r-- yotamm/yotamm  8235 2004-12-09 16:08:41 mkd-2.6.6-0.2-backport24k.patch
  -rw-rw-r-- yotamm/yotamm 29949 2004-12-09 15:10:45 mkd-2.6.6-0.2-backport24m.patch

Where 
+  mkd-2.6.6-0.2-backport24k.patch  is a 'manual' port of
   some 'home' grown _variant_ of kernel 2.4.18.
+  mkd-2.6.6-0.2-backport24m.patch  is  diffs of the mkexec module.

Probably the biggest change to Kernel 2.4 is  include/linux/mmzone.h
  /* #define MAX_ORDER 10 --> 11*/ 
  #define MAX_ORDER 11  /* for minikernel-dump */
