No the crashdump mechanism is useless because user space is already

Again, why broken?

To get a stock stat drive by hand I had to list about 5 kernel modules
in the right magic order in /etc/kdump.conf

Neither mount by label or mount by uuid when specified in /etc/kdump.conf
I had to hack mkdumprd to get an initrd that even finds the proper disk
to mount.

You are saying that there is some difficulty to make a initrd for kdump, but I am sorry that I can't see any relations between this and my patch. What is your point here?
