        The files that contain the default kernel cmdline are now generated
        per-architecture at build-time. Consequently, kdump-tools is no
        longer Architecture: all. (LP: #1763532).

        creating filtered dumps of Ubuntu arm64 kernels, it does satisfy
        the dependency for kdump-tools, which will cleanly fallback to 'cp'
        mode if makedumpfile fails. LP: #1238110, LP: #1694859.

        can be modified in /etc/default/kdump-tools. Also use the NFS defaults
        (timeo=600, retrans=3) for these parameters. Make those values visible

        in /proc/cmdine (i.e. like when things like "acpi_osi=!Windows 2012"

      * Fix networked kdump failure to reach remote server.
        Avoids "Network is unreachable" message when trying to do remote dumps on
        either SSH or NFS. (LP: #1571590)
    
      * Replace maxcpus by nr_cpus
        nr_cpus is a hard limit that has an impact on the (kdump) kernel
        memory consumption, while it is not the case with maxcpus=1, as we can
        theoretically hotplug cpus with maxcpus=1 (LP: #1568952)
    
      * define_stampdir() : Loop on hostname -I for 5 sec to get IP address
        if HOSTTAG=ip. The network stack may not be ready when kdump-config runs.
        Give it some time before reverting HOSTTAG to hostname if an IP address
        cannot be found. (LP: #1599561)
    
      * Add cio_ignore result to /etc/default/kdump-tools on s390x
        In order to have crashkernel=128M to work correctly on the s390
        architecture the result of cio_ignore -u -k needs to be appended to the
        KDUMP_CMDLINE_APPEND variable in /etc/default/kdump-tools. This patch
        adds the required logic to do the proper modification.  (LP: #1570775)

        Uses a syntax which is no longer supported and generate an error on
        install. (LP: #1599491)

      * Allow for symlinks to be created for vmlinux files : On Power8
        architecture, systems are booting from a vmlinux file. The symlink
        /var/lib/kdump/vmlinuz has to point to this file.  (LP: #1536904)
    
      * Add functionality to create symlinks for older kernels : If kdump
        is installed on systems with more than one kernel package, the smaller
        initrd.img file will only be created for the latest kernel. Adding the
        'symlinks' functionality will allow for the creation of symlinks to
        older kernels. If the smaller initrd.img file is missing in /var/lib/kdump
        it will be created beforehand.  This will be preempted if kdump is already
        loaded. (LP: #1537714)

      * New upstream version includes :
        o Parallel compression
         - Add the new option "--num-threads" to enable parallel compression
           for faster processing. This option intends parallel compression
           while --split intends parallel i/o, they try to solve different
           bottlenecks.
    
        o Change the way to choose the non-cyclic mode
         - Add the new option "--work-dir" to specify the directory used to
           store the bitmap. This is the alternative to the combination of
           --non-cyclic and TMPDIR.
    
        o Support new kernels
         - The supported kernel is updated to 4.2 in this version.

      * Debian specific enhancements :
    
        - kdump-tools now make use of smaller initrd.img files created in
        /var/lib/kdump. This avoid optential OOM when the size of the initrd.img
        becomes larger (LP: #1496317).  Implementation details are :
    
          o New kernel hooks are added to create smaller initrd.img files when new
            kernel packages are installed :
              /etc/kernel/postrm.d/kdump-tools
              /etc/kernel/postinst.d/kdump-tools
    
          o kdump-config is responsible for the maintenance of symbolic links used
            to point to the appropriate vmlinuz & initrd files. Link maintenance
            is done at each boot by kdump-config. New links will point to the
            files named after the running kernel.
    
          o The KDUMP_KERNEL and KDUMP_INITRD configuration variables are now
            now enabled and use the symbolic links :
              /var/lib/kdump/vmlinuz
              /var/lib/kdump/initrd.img
    
          o kdump-config has been adapted to show the symbolic link information
    
        - kdump-tools is now enabled by default.  When installed a prompt will
          propose to override the default value.
