Subject[PATCH 1/1] Allow i386 crash kernels to handle x86_64 dumps
From
Date
The specific case I am encountering is kdump under Xen with a 64 bit
hypervisor and 32 bit kernel/userspace. The dump created is a 64 bit due
to the hypervisor but the dump kernel is 32 bit to match the domain 0
kernel.

It's possibly less likely to be useful in a purely native scenario but I
see no reason to disallow it.
