The very first patch provides documentation explaining what this is :-) . Yes, its supposed to be an improvement over kdump. The patches mostly work; a list of open issues / todo list is included in the documentation. It also appears that the not-yet-released firmware versions this was tested on are still, ahem, incomplete; this work is also pending. -- Linas & Manish
