You can call panic notifiers and kmsg dumpers before kdump by
specifying "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" as a boot parameter.
However, it doesn't make sense if kdump is not available.  In that
case, disable "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" boot parameter so that
you can't change the value of the parameter.

I think it would make sense if he just replaced "kdump" with "kexec".

It would be less insane, however it still makes no sense as without
kexec on panic support crash_kexec is a noop.  So the value of the
seeting makes no difference.

Can you explain more, I don't really understand what you mean. Are you suggesting
the whole "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" feature has no value ?
