Resolves: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-33413
Upstream: rhkdump/kdump-utils
Conflict: Miss upstream patch 0d90d580 ("dracut-module-setup:
          consolidate s390 network device config (#1937048)") and
          upstream switches to a different way of supporting OVS.

    Support dumping to NVMe/TCP configured using NVMe Boot Firmware Table

    Resolves: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-100907
    Resolves: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-33413

    The dracut nvmf module can take care of all things. It can parse ACPI
    NVMe Boot Firmware Table (NBFT) tables, generate NetworkManager profiles
    and discover and connect all subsystems.

    Currently, the dracut kdump module will try to bring up the same network
    connections as in 1st kernel. But a different set of NVMe connections
    and active network interfaces will be used for the case of multipathing.
    So the dracut kdump module should let dracut nvmf module do everything.

    Note connecting everything and having network redundancy may require extra
    memory and the default crashkernel may not work. We'll document this
    issue and ask users to increase the crashkernel.
