There is a kexec-tools patch that is required to get the "-p" option
working. I had sent it out only to the fastboot mailing list without
updating kdump documentation. I will send out an updated documentation
patch indicating this requirement (I will host the patch on some site
and point to it in the document).

Meanwhile, I am attaching the patch with this note. Kindly try kdump
with this. Thanks!

Regards, Hari
