Agreed. Distribution specific scripts should be a better place for this
kind of change instead of modifying kexec-tools. kexec-tools should have
no business deciding whether panic_on_warn makes sense in second kernel
or not.
Yeah, most likely. But panic_on_warn is a little special then on this
issue. panic_on_warn is not the stuff which doesn't hurt 2nd kernel,
it surely does. I can't imagine any motivation someone expect a
panic_on_warn action in kdump kernel.
That means removing panic_on_warn whould be a common requirement, no
matter what distribution. On this point it's suitable to remove it in
kexec.
