It should be noted that while version 4.0-4.11 will at least allow
a crash session to initialize, there are several other 2.6.24 related
kernel changes that have broken several key commands. Among them, at
least on x86_64 kernels:
1. "kmem -[sS]" fails due to changes in the CONFIG_SLUB code between
2.6.22 and 2.6.24.
2. "kmem <address>" doesn't work at all.
3. "kmem -n" fails to show any pgdat-node related information.
4. "kmem -f" doesn't work at all.
5. "kmem -i" doesn't work at all.
6. "runq" for the CFS scheduler no longer shows any queued tasks,
but only the relevant structure addresses.
7. The kernel's use of a virtual mem_map array on x86_64 is not
handled, and this may lead to other page struct related errors.
