Michael Holzheu 7d4c738ce5 s390/zfcpdump: Update documentation in zfcpdump.txt
Do the following changes:

 - Document new /proc/vmcore interface
 - Document partition dump external initramfs with s390-tools-1.24.0
 - Remove initramfs config file because initramfs is now built automatically
   in s390-tools
 - Replace description of kernel config options with "make zfcpdump_defconfig"
 - Some editorial changes

Michael Holzheu bf28a5970d s390/dump: Remove CONFIG_ZFCPDUMP
Currently there are two s390 kernel dump config options "CONFIG_ZFCPDUMP"
and "CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP". In order to keep things simple and because the
"CONFIG_ZFCPDUMP" option already has a dependency to "CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP"
remove the CONFIG_ZFCPDUMP option.

Michael Holzheu 411ed32257 [S390] zfcpdump support.
s390 machines provide hardware support for creating Linux dumps on SCSI
disks. For creating a dump a special purpose dump Linux is used. The first
32 MB of memory are saved by the hardware before the dump Linux is
booted. Via an SCLP interface, the saved memory can be accessed from
Linux. This patch exports memory and registers of the crashed Linux to
userspace via a debugfs file. For more information refer to
Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt, which is included in this patch.
