Public bug reported:

On ppc64el, there's no vmlinu/z/, only vmlinu/x/.

Thus, kdump-config load fails as follows:

# kdump-config load
Cannot open `/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-27-generic': No such file or directory
 * failed to load kdump kernel

This small patch (attached) fixes the issue.
It defaults KDUMP_KERNEL to vmlinux if vmlinuz is not found.

# cd /usr/sbin && patch -p1 < ~/kdump-config-vmlinux.patch
patching file kdump-config

# kdump-config load
[...]
 * loaded kdump kernel

** Affects: makedumpfile (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Patch added: "kdump-config-vmlinux.patch"
