As of today kexec/kdump does not work with early panics as kdump kernel
needs to be loaded in reserved memory and that action happens once the
first kernel has booted.

There is so much to it that I really don't think that modifying bootloaders to
do all that might not trivial and more importantly I think it probably is not
worth the effort.


It's really not all that hard, actually.
