Enable networked kernel dump
Enable networked kernel dump
[RATIONALE]
Current system configuration can lead to systems where the local disk storage is not sufficient to hold the kernel crash dump produced in case of a kernel panic.
Other configurations may not even have local storage, or in the case of cloud instances, no persistent storage of any kind.
We must be able to provide a way to do a remote capture of the kernel crash dump in those situation.
[GOAL]
Develop remote kernel dump functionality similar to those currently available in other distributions.

[ASSUMPTIONS]
Implementation assumes that the network stack is up and running when the kernel crash dump collection tools is activated. This is the current situation with Debian derivatives
