[Crash-utility] Re: [[PATCH v2]] Clean up on top of one-thread-v2

Hi Alexey, For the rest of the patch, I didn't see any problem. But since it only supports modern kernels, could you please implement the rest, so I can have a testing for variety versions of kernels(ranging from 2.6.x to 5.x), in order to find if there are further problems.
