Note that the vmhalt function is only triggered after a user-initiated
system halt (meaning 'shutdown -h' or equivalent actions). Specifically
vmhalt will not be called after a kernel panic.

Given that with the above vmhalt line any 'shutdown -h' command will
trigger a vmdump, I would not recommend this approach.
