I like the concept - it's basically netconsole for SCSI drivers
and the driver changes are surprisingly simple and clean.

But it would be better if it coexisted with LKCD so that netdump
would also work. Can't you make it a low level driver for LKCD?

Diskdump can exist with netdump without LKCD. Actually in our
system, diskdump and netdump both exist and can be selected by
module loading. When both modules are loaded, diskdump runs first
and if it detects I/O error when writing dump, it falls backs
to netdump.
