How does this compare with existing implementations in
phosphor-debug-collector.  I believe there was some attempt to extend
P-D-C previously to handle Intel's crashdump behavior.  The repository
currently handles IBM's processors, I think, or maybe that is covered by
openpower-debug-collector.

In any case, I think you should look at the existing D-Bus interfaces
(and associated Redfish implementation) of these repositories and
determine if you can use those approaches (or document why now).
