Bug description:
  == Comment: #7 - Vaishnavi Bhat  - 2016-03-15 06:16:53 ==
  The following warning is generated by makedumpfile 
  * running makedumpfile --dump-dmesg /proc/vmcore /mnt/201602030129/dmesg.201602030129
  The kernel version is not supported.
  The created dumpfile may be incomplete.

  The makedumpfile version on your machine is 
  # makedumpfile -v
  makedumpfile: version 1.5.5 (released on 18 Dec 2013)

  I did a #sudo apt-get source makedumpfile and checked for the sources. 
  In the makedumpfile.h ,  the LATEST_VERSION is set to
  #define OLDEST_VERSION          KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 15)/* linux-2.6.15 */
  #define LATEST_VERSION          KERNEL_VERSION(4, 1, 0)/* linux-4.1.0 */
  where as kernel version on the machine is 
  # uname -r
  4.2.0-27-generic

  Hence we see this mismatch and message as "The kernel version is not
  supported."

  We need canonical to change the value of LATEST_VERSION  so that we do
  not see this message.
