i40iw consumes huge amounts of memory. For example, on a x86_64 machine,
i40iw consumed 1.5GB for Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection X722 for

parameter "resource_profile=2", we can reduce the memory usage of i40iw
to ~300M which is still too much for kdump.
Disabling the client registration would spare us the client interface
operation open , i.e., i40iw_open for iwarp/uda device. Thus memory is
saved for kdump.

Is i40iw or whatever the client is not itself under a CONFIG which
kdump() kernels could be reasonably expected to disable?
I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. Do you mean we shouldn't
disable i40iw for kdump?
