Public bug reported:
[Request]
To be able to call makedumpfile at the from the initramfs, instead of doing so
after rootfs is active/mounted.
[Justification]
Systems with too much memory will demand higher amounts of memory for the
crashkernel parameter, as well as having less systemd units up and running
before makedumpfile kicks in. The idea is to use as little memory as possible
in the kernel dump generation.
[Workaround]
Tailoring the postinst.d/kdump-tools hooks can have makedumpfile be called
earler. Although feasible, that's too much of a "hack", and this could ideally
be embedded in kdump-tools as an option.
[Regressions]
TBE.
