We don't have great ordering now, one thing we need to enforce is the order between the 2 UML notifiers, and this patch is doing that..trying to order against other callbacks like the ftrace dumper is messy in the current code. OTOH if this patch set is accepted at some point, we'll likely have 3 lists, and with that we can improve ordering a lot - this notifier for instance would run in the pre-reboot list, *after* the ftrace dumper (if a kmsg dumper is set). So, my intention is to keep this patch as is for V2 (with some changes Johannes suggested before), unless Petr or the other maintainers want something different.
