There's nothing practical with requiring users to pass a kernel option
to make kdump work. It's a workaround, sure, but it's not a proper
fix.

And once you add whitelisting to make it practical, implications are
no longer limited nor easily understood nor actually testable unless
you happen to have access every single firmware out there.

Yes, we have plenty of quirks in the x86 boot code but that doesn't
mean it's a good idea to add more of the unless we absolutely must.
