[PATCH RFC] module-setup.sh: install usb serial driver for ttyUSB0
by Dave Young
In case one want to use usb serial console, we need to pack the usb serial
driver into kdump initramfs so that one can see the console output on the usb
console.
I only handled ttyUSB0, this is like a hard code, but it should be enough for
most cases. Also only install the driver for the ttyUSB0 device.
Tested with adding "console=ttyUSB0" in 2nd kernel commandline.
Tested latest F22 kernel, there's CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y, kdump work ok.

We are using Fedora kexec mailing list as the upstream of kdump scripts.
see below page:

The better way is to send patches to kexec(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
so that we can review and discuss it.
The latest code stays in Fedora kexec git tree, you can clone the tree by:
fedpkg clone -a kexec-tools
