I thought about that before, but did not go with any actual actions. kexec test needs a system reboot, Kdump is even harder to test, that is the reason I hesitated about. But since the breakage happens here and there frequently, it is time to try it. I think I will play with it, but I might be slow because of other things, welcome to post patches if anyone is interested :) Thanks Dave
