If a Xen dump is detected, makedumpfile checks that the target format is
ELF. The real reason is that compressed formats are not possible with Xen.
But there's a third way initial_xen() can be called: with --dump-dmesg.
This variant works in fact, so it's enough to extend the check so that
it covers this case.
