kexec-tools/xenial verification
-------------------------------
1) MAAS-deployed a clean xenial install
2) Added -proposed to sources.list
3) xenial linux-hwe doesn't yet have arm64/kdump support, so I installed
   linux-hwe from ppa:canonical-kernel-team/ppa to get a new enough version.
4) Also installed linux-image-4.10.0-28-generic-dbgsym from CKT PPA.
5) Installed a manually built makedumpfile deb to fulfill a dependency for kdump-tools
   The only change is adding 'arm64' to the Architecture list in debian/control
   (Resolving that is another bug task here).
6) Installed crash deb from zesty - xenial's crash is too old to support 4.10 on arm64.
7) apt update; apt dist-upgrade; apt install kdump-tools
4) Edited /etc/default/grub.d/kdump-tools.cfg and set crashkernel=1G-:512M
   (this step is required until defaults are updated via kdump-tools)
5) Rebooted for changes to take effect.
6) Noticed that kdump-tools failed to load due to a broken symlink;
   ran 'dpkg-reconfigure kdump-tools' to fix
7) Ran the test case in this bug's description. Test log attached.
