+What:		/sys/firmware/opal/dump
+Date:		Feb 2014

+Description:
+		This directory exposes interfaces for interacting with
+		the FSP and platform dumps through OPAL firmware interface.
+
+		This is only for the powerpc/powernv platform.
+
+		=============== ===============================================
+		initiate_dump:	When '1' is written to it,
+				we will initiate a dump.
+				Read this file for supported commands.
+
+		0xXX-0xYYYY:	A directory for dump of type 0xXX and
+				id 0xYYYY (in hex). The name of this
+				directory should not be relied upon to
+				be in this format, only that it's unique
+				among all dumps. For determining the type
+				and ID of the dump, use the id and type files.
+				Do not rely on any particular size of dump
+				type or dump id.
+		=============== ===============================================
+
+		Each dump has the following files:
+
+		=============== ===============================================
+		id:		An ASCII representation of the dump ID
+				in hex (e.g. '0x01')
+		type:		An ASCII representation of the type of
+				dump in the format "0x%x %s" with the ID
+				in hex and a description of the dump type
+				(or 'unknown').
+				Type '0xffffffff unknown' is used when
+				we could not get the type from firmware.
+				e.g. '0x02 System/Platform Dump'
+		dump:		A binary file containing the dump.
+				The size of the dump is the size of this file.
+		acknowledge:	When 'ack' is written to this, we will
+				acknowledge that we've retrieved the
+				dump to the service processor. It will
+				then remove it, making the dump
+				inaccessible.
+				Reading this file will get a list of
+				supported actions.
