They're all essentially debug flags for use on kernels/dumpfiles
that for some reason or other would not initialize properly.
memory_module: if /dev/mem or /dev/crash do not suffice you could
force-feed one or the other for live system analysys.
Another question: Why do we need the "memory_device" param if we
already had "memory_module"? Arent they the same thing? The naming
here is so confused to me.
Thanks,
