One problem is that the "zfcpdump_part.rd" initramfs from s390-tools
only contains the "zfcpdump_part" executable that is used as init
process. We don't include any kernel modules.

AFAIK your "generic" kernel has no built-in SCSI / ZFCP support.
Therefore if you would like to use this kernel, you somehow had to
include the kernel modules in the zfcpdump initramfs.
