With commit fa9201b2 ("fadump: isolate fadump initramfs image within
the default one"), initramfs image gets to hold two squash images, one
for production kernel boot purpose and the other for capture kernel
boot. Having separate images improved reliability for both production
kernel and capture kernel boot scenarios, but the size of initramfs
image became considerably larger.
Instead of having squash images, compressing $initdir without using
squash images reduced the size of initramfs image for fadump case by
around 30%. So, avoid using squash for fadump case.

Previously kexec-tools will pass "--compress zstd" to dracut. It
will make dracut to decide whether: a) call mksquashfs to make a
zstd format squash-root.img, b) call cmd zstd to make a initramfs.
Since dracut(>= 057) has decoupled the compressor for dracut and
dracut-squash, So in this patch, we will pass the compressor seperately.
Note:
The is_squash_available && !dracut_has_option --squash-compressor
&& !is_zsdt_command_available case is left unprocessed on purpose.
Actually, the situation when we want to call zstd compression is:
1) If squash function OK, we want dracut to invoke mksquashfs to make
a zstd format squash-root.img within initramfs.
2) If squash function is not OK, and cmd zstd presents, we want dracut
to invoke cmd zstd to make a zstd format initramfs.
is_zstd_command_available check can handle case 2 completely.
However, for the is_squash_available check, it cannot handle case 1
completely. It only checks if the kernel supports squashfs, it doesn't
check whether the squash module has been added by dracut when making
initramfs. In fact, in kexec-tools we are unable to do the check,
there are multiple ways to forbit dracut to load a module, such as
"dracut -o module" and "omit_dracutmodules in dracut.conf".
When squash dracut module is omitted, is_squash_available check will
still pass, so "--compress zstd" will be appended to dracut cmdline,
and it will call cmd zstd to do the compression. However cmd zstd may
not exist, so it fails.
The previous "--compress zstd" is ambiguous, after the intro of
"--squash-compressor", "--squash-compressor" only effect for
mksquashfs and "--compress" only effect for specific cmd.
So for the is_squash_available && !dracut_has_option
--squash-compressor && !is_zsdt_command_available case, we just leave
it to be handled the default way.

Since commit c5bdd2d8f1 ("kdump-lib: use non-debug kernels first"),
non-debug kernel is preferred, over the debug variant, as dump capture
kernel to reduce memory consumption. This works alright for kdump as
the capture kernel is loaded using kexec.
In case of fadump, regular boot loader is used to load the capture
kernel. So, the default kernel needs to be used as capture kernel as
well. But with commit c5bdd2d8f1, initrd of a different kernel is
made dump capture capable, breaking fadump's ability to capture dump
properly. Fix this by sticking with the debug variant in case of
fadump.

Then the system has no response any more. And after reboot, there is no

In a short word, it is caused by the irqpoll policy and some unknown
acpi issue. The serial device is hot-removed as a pci device.
More detailed, the irqpoll policy demands to iterate over all interrupt
handler, if the interrupt line is shared, then the handler is
dispatched. And acpi handler acpi_irq() is on a shared interrupt line,
so it is called. But for some unknown reason, the acpi hardware regs
hold wrong state, and the acpi driver decides that a hot-removed event
happens on a pci slot, which finally removes the pci serial device.
To tackle this issue by removing the irqpoll parameter on aws aarch64
platform, until the real root cause in acpi is found and resolved.

```
where on a platform that uses GRUB we get:
- x86_64 Fedora CoreOS machine:
```
[root@cosa-devsh ~]# sed "s/^BOOT_IMAGE=\((\S*)\)\?\(\S*\) .*/\2/" /proc/cmdline
/ostree/fedora-coreos-af4f6cc7b9ff486cfa647680b180e989c72c8eed03a34a42e7328e49332bd20e/vmlinuz-5.18.5-200.fc36.x86_64
```
We should change the setting of the boot_img variable such that it will
be empty if BOOT_IMAGE doesn't exist.
With this change on the s390x machine:
```
[root@cosa-devsh ~]# grep -P -o '^BOOT_IMAGE=(\S+)' /proc/cmdline | sed "s/^BOOT_IMAGE=\((\S*)\)\?\(\S*\)/\2/"

This change mattered much more before the change in c5bdd2d which changed
