    Can you explain to me why anyone would want to use this invasive patch
    (it requires all drivers to change) instead of the kexec-dump approach? The
    kexec-dump approach appears on first sight to be far cleaner and far more powerful,
    so there must be a reason this work was done regardless of that.. I'm curious
    what those reasons are, eg what's the advantage ???
