fadump: a question about "ibm,configure-kernel-dump"

From: Liu ping fan <hidden>

I have an ibm-p8-garrison machine. But I can not find a node
"ibm,configure-kernel-dump" under /proc/device-tree.  Does garrison
machine support fadump? And normally, which component in open-power
presents the "ibm,configure-kernel-dump" ?  I had though it was in
skiboot gitree or  garrison-xml gitree, but found nothing.

Can anyone give a help?
Thx

fadump only exists for guests running under PowerVM (LPARs). It sounds
like you're running bare metal (because you mention skiboot).

If you're talking about guests on top of KVM then it *could* be
implemented, but AFAIK Qemu/KVM do not implement it.

cheers

Thank you very much. I am more clear about it now.
