Title:
  update makedumpfile tool version to v1.6.3

Status in makedumpfile package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  == Comment: #0 - Hari Krishna Bathini <hbath...@in.ibm.com> - 2018-01-30 
10:46:53 ==
  ---Problem Description---
  update makedumpfile to latest version v1.6.3 that officially supports
  up to kernel version 4.14.8. Since makedumpfile is inherently backward 
compatible,
  this would not break existing functionality..
   
  Contact Information = hbath...@in.ibm.com 
   
  ---uname output---
  na
   
  Machine Type = na 
   
  ---Debugger---
  A debugger is not configured
   
  ---Steps to Reproduce---
   makedumpfile reports ""The kernel version is not supported" while generating 
vmcore
  Also, there is a possibility of bogus address translations in makedumpfile 
tool with
  missing upstream patches. Can't be so sure without an exhaustive testing. 
Instead,
  it would be a good idea to go with the version which officially supports the 
kernel
  version in question.
   
  Userspace tool common name: makedumpfile 
   
  The userspace tool has the following bit modes: 64-bit 

  Userspace rpm: makedumpfile

  Userspace tool obtained from project website:  na 
   
  *Additional Instructions for hbath...@in.ibm.com:
  -Attach ltrace and strace of userspace application.

  With kernel version updated to 4.13.0, please update makedumpfile tool
  version to 1.6.3 which officially supports up to kernel version 4.14.8 [1].

  Thanks
  Hari
