    [PATCH] kexec: change CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START dependency · 05970d47
    Maneesh Soni authored
    I have heard some complaints about people not finding CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
    option and also some objections about its dependency on CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
    The following patch ends that dependency.  I thought of hiding it under
    CONFIG_KEXEC, but CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START could also be used for some reasons
    other than kexec/kdump and hence left it visible.  I will also update the
    documentation accordingly.
    
    o Following patch removes the config dependency of CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START
      on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The reason being CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP option for
      kdump needs CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START which makes CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depend
      on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. It is not always obvious for kdump users to choose
      CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
    
    o It also shifts the palce where this option appears, to make it closer
      to kexec and kdump options.
