That's a good. Do you have any consideration for standard Kdump options? I have created a Kdump
test suite but it originally written and tested on RHEL and Fedora.

I hope it could also work for SLES, OpenSUSE and other distros. However, I have no environment to
test it yet, and I found it is kind of difficult to port it to other distros for so many different
options.

I'd appreciate if you guys could have a look, and come out a standard Kdump options. I'd also be
happy to modify the suite accordingly.

Thanks,
CaiQian
