I'll go ahead and add more explaining comments and the Kconfig for
memdump that defaults to off.  Then if Raspbian needs the ability to
support memdump, they can turn it back on.  I have absolutely no
problem doing either of those.

Dan and Eric have a few simple fixes that I can include in V5 as well. 
I'll go ahead and resend that in a day or two.

Thanks.
