KDUMP_CMDLINE_APPEND: add noirqdistrib for ppc64el
There is no need to specify that option conditionally only on ppc64el
architecture, as this option is only meaningful there.
This option is needed, otherwise some interrupts may be lost.

* Build on arm64. While this version of makedumpfile doesn't support
creating filtered dumps of Ubuntu arm64 kernels, it does satisfy
the dependency for kdump-tools, which will cleanly fallback to 'cp'
mode if makedumpfile fails. LP: #1238110, LP: #1694859.
* d/p/0006-PATCH-Support-newer-kernels.patch :
Support kernel versions up to 4.8 (LP: #1557751)
* Turn hardcoded timeo and retrans NFS options into parameters that
can be modified in /etc/default/kdump-tools. Also use the NFS defaults
(timeo=600, retrans=3) for these parameters. Make those values visible
in the 'show' command if NFS is configured (LP: #1641235)
* Complete support for kernel versions 4.8 and later :
d/p/0007-PATCH-Looking-for-page.compound_order-compound_dtor-.patch,
d/p/0008-PATCH-Skip-examining-compound-tail-pages.patch (LP: #1655625)
* d/p/0003-PATCH-v2-Support-_count-_refcount-rename-in-struct-p.patch,
d/p/0004-fix-readpage_elf-attempt-to-read-non-existent-page.patch
Fix makedumpfile failure on 4.8 kernels.
- Makedumpfile will exit on error with the following message :
get_mem_map: Can't distinguish the memory type. (LP: #1626269)
- Fix readpage_elf: Attempt to read non-existent page errors after
previous patch is applied

* Fix double-quote handling in /proc/cmdline
Parsing of the cmdline would fail if double-quotes are encountered
in /proc/cmdine (i.e. like when things like "acpi_osi=!Windows 2012"
are found in the cmdline). (LP: #1644771)

* 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)
