Title:
  kdump-config load fails with vmlinux kernel (vs. vmlinuz)

Status in “makedumpfile” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On ppc64el, there's no vmlinu/z/, only vmlinu/x/.

  Thus, kdump-config load fails as follows:

  # kdump-config load
  Cannot open `/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-27-generic': No such file or directory
   * failed to load kdump kernel

  This small patch (attached) fixes the issue.
  It defaults KDUMP_KERNEL to vmlinux if vmlinuz is not found.

  # cd /usr/sbin && patch -p1 < ~/kdump-config-vmlinux.patch
  patching file kdump-config

  # kdump-config load
  [...]
   * loaded kdump kernel
