Re: [Crash-utility] PATCH 00/10] teach crash to work with "live" ramdump
Dave, sorry I need to run away. I'll reply tomorrow. And I need to
actually read your emails first, perhaps I misunderstood you...
Just one note,

As I see it, this facility is simply another LIVE_SYSTEM memory source,

Well yes, to some degree...
But let me repeat, I believe that crash needs something like 1-7 (and probably
more) anyway. Otherwise it can't work with remote LIVE_SYSTEM correctly.
And while I think that 10/10 can be useful by itself (and least for me), this
is mostly POC which which allows to test/justify these LOCAL_ACTIVE changes
in 1-7.
