amdgpu itself, so if it's a GPU issue, we don't want to m

Thanks Christian, that'd be perfect! Is it feasible? Per Alex comment,

That should be pretty straightforward I think.

Thanks a lot Alex / Gerd and Thomas, very informative stuff! I'm glad
there are projects to collect/save the data and reuse after a kdump,
this is very useful.
I'll continue my study on the atombios thing of AMD and QXL, maybe at
least we can make it work in qemu, that'd be great (like a small
