kdump won't work on ppc64el, as CRASH_DUMP is not enabled. This has been
used for IBM Power systems for a long time on other OSes, so it should
be safe to enable on 64-bit PPC.
Changes in kdump-tools and makedumpfile that make sense only on ppc64
are in progress to get good kdump support on Debian 64-bit PPC.
The attached patch might have been mangled, sorry about that.
