When I testing arm kdump, the kdump start failed with several missing variables Copy them from x86 sysconfig to general sysconfig so at least user can set the right value in sysconfig Also It's better to add them to the beggining of kdumpctl and initilize them as nul, later sourcing sysconfig will overwite them.
