Hi,

Thanks to all.

I has been asked by customers, ISV vendors and many
to support a crash dump facility in the linux kernel.

I'd like to know issues/concerns to be merged the LKCD into
the kernel if any.

By the way, who is the kernel people to maintain a
dump facility? Linus? Dave?

Regards,
  Hiro
