Note, though maxcpus always works, you had better replace it with
nr_cpus to save memory if supported by the current ARCH, such as x86.
* You should enable multi-cpu support in dump-capture kernel if you intend
to use multi-thread programs with it, such as parallel dump feature of
makedumpfile. Otherwise, the multi-thread program may have a great
performance degradation. To enable multi-cpu support, you should bring up an
SMP dump-capture kernel and specify maxcpus/nr_cpus, disable_cpu_apicid=[X]
options while loading it.
* For s390x there are two kdump modes: If a ELF header is specified with
the elfcorehdr= kernel parameter, it is used by the kdump kernel as it
is done on all other architectures. If no elfcorehdr= kernel parameter is
