Is there a reason that makedumpfile does not fill in the utsname structure
in the compressed dumpfile's header?
The data structure does get read into a local new_utsname structure in the
check_release() function, but it doesn't get saved and copied into the
disk_dump_header in write_kdump_header().
It would be helpful if that were in place as a quick ID for what the
compressed dumpfile contains.
