Subject: Treat KDUMP_CPUS=0 as "all available CPUs"
References: bsc#1036223
Upstream: v0.8.17
Git-commit: 34192abe9a0f5ddbcd580fa52b7fa4400533b9a4

Since SMP after crash is now considered stable, remove the warnings and
make the feature more useful by not requiring a fixed number of CPUs.

 This parameter modifies the _maxcpus_ parameter of the kdump kernel and
 the number of *makedumpfile*(8) processes created.
 
+If the value is zero, all available CPUs are used, i.e. the _maxcpus_
+parameter is not added to the kdump kernel command line.

 *Note:* This parameter does not work properly for the _ELF_ format,
 because *makedumpfile*(8) does not support split _ELF_ dump files.
