If I understand correctly cio_ignore command needs to be on the running
instance that is about to crash, rather than on the re-exec kernel. Thus
it needs to be computed and added to e.g. /etc/zipl.conf. At the moment
we do not generate/update /etc/zipl.conf in an automated way, but the
more I think about it the better it sounds to e.g. able to specify all
crashdump parameters, computed cio_ignore, correct root= argument, and
generate menu items for every installed ubuntu kernel (rather than just
the last one), and recovery stanzas too. I'll open a wishlist bug about
that.

BTW, does it make sense to compute and use `cio_ignore -k -u` generated
command line by default? on one hand kernel will use less memory, on the
other hand `lszdev` will be quite empty and one will have a harder time
to discover additional devices one can bring online.

I have, for now, added things to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/S390X -> feel
free to edit and/or improve that. And I will open a new bug report to
get those updates into the Ubuntu Server Guide.
