That's at least my hope. There's an other problem I keep forgetting.
Currently only LPAR has the bigger HSA size. z/VM has to emulate the HSA
and cannot cope with the bigger size yet. Not sure if/how KVM handles
this. So simply bumping the ALS won't be enough. You still need to keep
an eye on the hypervisors...

Actually my hope is we find a way to get it work with the standad kernel
+ kdump initrd. So basically getting a firmware assisted kdump.

I also played around a little bit more with zfcpdump + secure boot and I'm no 
longer sure that simply signing the zfcpdump kernel is enough. There might also 
be a bug in zipl. But that needs further investigation.
