Andy, You must have missed my second question about the return value of relocate() -- see below: ----- Original Message ----- > > This patch adds a --kaslr command line parameter for loading x86_64 > crash dumps with kaslr enabled. This reuses the code from 32-bit > x86 relocations with some small changes. The ASLR offset is postive > instead of negative.

I've never had any reports of problems with the old return value, so I'm a little nervous about changing it for both arches. Should the change above be restricted to --kalsr kernels?
