well, here my complete proposed wording:

Depending on the number of available devices the amount of memory
specified by the "crashkernel" kernel parameter in /etc/zipl.conf may
not be sufficient. One can either increase it further, or limit the
amount of devices visible to the kernel, and thus lower the requirements
for the "crashkernel" setting.

To ignore devices you can run the "cio_ignore" tool to generate an
appropriate stanza to ignore all devices, except the currently active
/in-use.

$ sudo cio_ignore -u -k
cio_ignore=all,!c000-c002,!e000,!e100

You can simply add the "cio_ignore" kernel parameter with the stanza
from above to KDUMP_CMDLINE_APPEND in /etc/default/kdump-tools and
activate the setting with "systemctl restart kdump-tools.service".

As an alternative which blacklists the channel devices also for the
production system, you can add the generated stanza to the boot
parameters in /etc/zipl.conf. To activate the setting call "zipl -V" and
then reboot the system.
