Well, theoritically, it should be as big as your RAM size...I doubt
your swap areas are included in kdump. My own reason is: swap is
already in disk, right? So, no need to dump them, they're already
"dumped".

Kdump itself, like core dump, as we already know, it's not really as
big as the total VMA size of the crashed process, don't you agree?
