strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

+ This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels
+ which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into
+ a specially reserved region and then later executed after
+ a crash by kdump/kexec.
+ For more details see Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
