Bootloaders with early kdump support?

[Nathan D Miller]

Greetings-

Vivek made the following statement a few months ago:

Any idea which bootloaders?  Which folks?

I'm curious how one would go about implementing such a thing.  What
parameters would the bootloader need to supply to the kernel?

Thanks,
Nate
