  Description     : Standalone memory dump program for kernel crash

Hi, now I'm packaging mkdump, or Mini Kernel Dump, which you can find
the information at the above URL. Mini Kernel Dump is a system to dump
memory information when the running kernel crashes. Unlike lkcd, 
Mini Kernel Dump program rus in a complete differenet context from the
main kernel in order to dump memory even when the main kernel isn't
useful to dump and store them in a disk such as driver bugs.

In order to exec mkdump, the mkexec extension to the kernel is
needed.
