FYI, if you view the above in the web archives, it seems that it
strips out ampersands, so it looks like "ramdump address" instead
of "ramdump@address".
So just in case you're confused by that, it's a single argument
with an ampersand separating the filename and address.
Modified patch attached. It is rebased to latest crash version.
The arguments are in the form of ordered pair as you had mentioned. I
have tested it with arm and armv8 ramdumps.
Do we really need dump_ramdump_def ? As the dump is converted to
kdump and we use the kdump flag in pc->flags, help -D and help -n
works fine using kdump dump functions. Did I miss something ?
I will send you the link to arm64 ramdump in another email.
Thanks,
