This patch highly lack document to describe what it's doing. For
example, how you will manipulate the /sys/kernel/crash_dm_crypt_keys to
initialize, record the keys, can you give examples how you opeate on
them?

Do we need add dependency on some security features, e.g KEYS?
The current code will enable the CRASH_DM_CRYPT regardless of the
existence of LUKS disk at all.

This is what I wondered and tried to find a document to get why. Can we
search in the current system and deduce how many keys we can could use
for kdump kernel? Or we have to retrieve and pass it from user space?

Why chekcing key_count in init()? Don't you need to check
total_keys instead? Clearly you don't do a boundary test for total_keys,
otherwise it will trigger issue.

Please add more code comments, kernel-doc for your code, we can't assume
people reading these codes know the entire matter.
