Voyager actually doesn't need a software based crash dump at all.

The system itself has a type of GSP that runs SUS (sort of a bios)
continuously.  SUS will dump a complete memory and state image to a
nominated dump slice (usually swap) if the OS becomes unresponsive or
requests it.  So all I really have to do is come up with a user space
tool that converts from this raw image format to your crash tool format.
