Bug description:
SRU Justification:
[Impact]
Users of ppc64el hardware need the ability to use crashdumps to do kernel
debugging.
[Test Case]
Taken from:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/CrashdumpRecipe
https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/kernel-crash-dump.html
1) apt-get install linux-crashdump
2) reboot the machine
3) sudo sed -i 's/USE_KDUMP=0/USE_KDUMP=1/g' /etc/default/kdump-tools
4) kdump-config show # should return no errors
5) echo 'c' | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger
6) This should crash the machine and we should kexec into another kernel to
dump the core, then on the next reboot we should see a crash in /var/crash/*
[Regression Potential]
Part of the fix involves adding a NEW package for ppc64el to allow
linux-crashdump binary package to be built from linux-meta.
