Patch attached...
This patch works well. Thank you!

No, for the most part they are there for debugging crash itself,
or were put in place as a result of specific odd-ball vmcores,
or short-time kernels that were missing a key ingredient, etc.
So, for example, with the attached patch, --no_kmem_cache should
not be needed, even with your horrifically corrupted vmcore...
Ok, thanks for explanation.
