* Fix networked kdump failure to reach remote server.
Avoids "Network is unreachable" message when trying to do remote dumps on
either SSH or NFS. (LP: #1571590)
* Replace maxcpus by nr_cpus
nr_cpus is a hard limit that has an impact on the (kdump) kernel
memory consumption, while it is not the case with maxcpus=1, as we can
theoretically hotplug cpus with maxcpus=1 (LP: #1568952)
* define_stampdir() : Loop on hostname -I for 5 sec to get IP address
if HOSTTAG=ip. The network stack may not be ready when kdump-config runs.
Give it some time before reverting HOSTTAG to hostname if an IP address
cannot be found. (LP: #1599561)
* Add cio_ignore result to /etc/default/kdump-tools on s390x
In order to have crashkernel=128M to work correctly on the s390
architecture the result of cio_ignore -u -k needs to be appended to the
KDUMP_CMDLINE_APPEND variable in /etc/default/kdump-tools. This patch
adds the required logic to do the proper modification. (LP: #1570775)
* debian/rules : drop the dh_installinit override
Uses a syntax which is no longer supported and generate an error on
install. (LP: #1599491)

* Allow for symlinks to be created for vmlinux files : On Power8
architecture, systems are booting from a vmlinux file. The symlink
/var/lib/kdump/vmlinuz has to point to this file. (LP: #1536904)
* Add functionality to create symlinks for older kernels : If kdump
is installed on systems with more than one kernel package, the smaller
initrd.img file will only be created for the latest kernel. Adding the
'symlinks' functionality will allow for the creation of symlinks to
older kernels. If the smaller initrd.img file is missing in /var/lib/kdump
it will be created beforehand. This will be preempted if kdump is already
loaded. (LP: #1537714)

* New upstream version includes :
o Parallel compression
- Add the new option "--num-threads" to enable parallel compression
for faster processing. This option intends parallel compression
while --split intends parallel i/o, they try to solve different
bottlenecks.
o Change the way to choose the non-cyclic mode
- Add the new option "--work-dir" to specify the directory used to
store the bitmap. This is the alternative to the combination of
--non-cyclic and TMPDIR.
o Support new kernels
- The supported kernel is updated to 4.2 in this version.

* Debian specific enhancements :
- kdump-tools now make use of smaller initrd.img files created in
/var/lib/kdump. This avoid optential OOM when the size of the initrd.img
becomes larger (LP: #1496317). Implementation details are :
o New kernel hooks are added to create smaller initrd.img files when new
kernel packages are installed :
/etc/kernel/postrm.d/kdump-tools
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/kdump-tools
o kdump-config is responsible for the maintenance of symbolic links used
to point to the appropriate vmlinuz & initrd files. Link maintenance
is done at each boot by kdump-config. New links will point to the
files named after the running kernel.
o The KDUMP_KERNEL and KDUMP_INITRD configuration variables are now
now enabled and use the symbolic links :
/var/lib/kdump/vmlinuz
/var/lib/kdump/initrd.img
o kdump-config has been adapted to show the symbolic link information
- kdump-tools is now enabled by default. When installed a prompt will
propose to override the default value.
