Hi Dave,
For s390 there are cases where makedumpfile generated dumps do not have CPU
information in the dump header. This happens when old s390 dump tools are
used to create a dump that do not write the CPU information into the s390
dump header. We can deal with this situation because we have a fallback that
gets the CPU register information out of memory (see s390x_get_lowcore).
So for s390 it would be better that we only get a warning, when crash
does not find CPU information in a makedumpfile generated dump.
