kexec-tools: Add vmcore-dmesg
vmcore-dmesg is a trivial utility to extract the dmesg from a vmcore.
This was written in reaction to problems I was having building
makedumpfile, and using makedumpfile for extracting dmesg. makedumpfile
does a whole lot of things, uses a whole lot of libraries and which
make it hard to compile and a little bit clunky to remember the command
line switches.
So I have written the trivial vmcore-dmesg program that reads a vmcore
either /proc/vmcore or a saved version vmcore and writes the dmesg to stdout.
There is nothing to vmcore-dmesg and all of the arch dependencies are wrapped
up in generating the core file. Which means a vmcore-dmesg should work with
core files of all architectures without needing a rebuild.
