We discussed this before, and Eric participated. In fact the custom
introspection was one of his recommendations.

(Which I agreed with because it would give us the most independence.)
Of course I'm not trying to imply that this one specific interface will
doubtlessly serve all of libvirt's needs wrt. the kdump feature. We
certainly need Eric to sign off on that.
