There are some complaints about nfs kdump that users must mount nfs beforehand, which may cause some overhead to nfs server. For example, there're thounsands of diskless clients deployed with nfs dumping, each time the client is boot up, it will trigger kdump rebuilding so will mount nfs, thus resulting in thousands of nfs request concurrently imposed on the same nfs server. We introduce a new way of specifying mount information via the already-existent "dracut_args" directive(so avoid adding extra directives in /etc/kdump.conf), we will skip all the filesystem mounting and checking stuff for it. So it can be used in the above-mentioned nfs scenario to avoid severe nfs server overhead. Specifically, if there is any "--mount" information specified via "dracut_args" in /etc/kdump.conf, always use it as the final mount without any validation(mounting or checking like mount options, fs size, etc), so users are expected to ensure its correctness. NOTE: -Only one mount target is allowed using "dracut_args" globally. -Dracut will create <mountpoint> if it doesn't exist in kdump kernel, <mountpoint> must be specified as an absolute path. -Users should do a test first and ensure it works because kdump does not prepare the mount or check all the validity.
