kexec-tools-2.0.4-18.fc20.x86_64
I assume that it gets created by installing kexec-tools.
Ok, so if kexec-tools generates it during installation time, then
/var/crash should be present after kexec-tools installation.
Only problem can happen if user installed kexec-tools first and later
mounted something on /var. I think we can just error out in that case.
