Note that, OPAL firmware exports ibm,opal/dump node when
FADump is supported on PowerNV platform.
On OPAL based machines, system first boots into an intermittent
kernel (referred to as petitboot kernel) before booting into the
capture kernel. This kernel would have minimal kernel and/or
userspace support to process crash data. Such kernel needs to
preserve previously crash'ed kernel's memory for the subsequent
capture kernel boot to process this crash data. Kernel config
option CONFIG_PRESERVE_FA_DUMP has to be enabled on such kernel
to ensure that crash data is preserved to process later.
