crash itself is maintained by IBM for s390x, so I guess we should keep all
arches the same when possible. Kyle probably has more information.

I just tried the command from rhbz#492803
crash -d7 /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/3.13.0-0.rc1.git2.1.fc21.s390x/vmlinux
on kernel with the crash driver enabled and it works if I can see.
