Recommended update for kdump
This update for kdump provides the following fixes:
- Fix a ssh login issue. Only field hosts in /etc/nsswitch is needed for /etc/hosts.
(bsc#1048178, bsc#1002617)
- Don't exit even if the initrd is not built. (bsc#1047781)
- Limit kdump CPUs to the number provided in the configuration. (bsc#1036223, bsc#1068234)
- Don't split vmcore by default. (bsc#1036223, bsc#1068234)
- Ensure added kdump-early.service is enabled properly after update. (bsc#1021484,
bsc#1047606)
- Change the logic in load.sh to use kexec_load first. If it fails or if it is blocked by
the kernel, then try kexec_load_file on x86_64. (bsc#951144, bsc#1056497)
