OK. The -t option is a fall-back if the dumpfile format doesn't
offer
a better way, or if the arch-specific kernel kdump code doesn't have a
"crashing_cpu" variable.
Speaking of which, I just noticed that if makedumpfile is used to create
a compressed kdump dumpfile, the original "crashing_cpu" kdump variable
is not used. I'll fix that...
