Hello Cascardo,

Sadly, it can't as kexec-tools is the one that creates elf headers for 
/proc/vmcore.
So, with a change in available CPUs/memory, kdump kernel needs to be reloaded.
Probably, with a udev event that does a try-restart of kdump-tool service on
CPU/Memory hot add/remove operation.

Can't do much about it. If need be, a user has the option to workaround this
problem by adjusting the settings in /etc/default/kdump-tools file to load
a different kdump kernel..

Thanks
