+Action to preform in case dumping to intended target fails. If no default
+action is specified saving vmcore to root fs is assumed default.
reboot: If the default action is reboot simply reboot the system (this is what
most people will want, as it returns the system to a nominal state). shell: If the default
action is shell, then drop to an msh session inside the initramfs from
where you can manually preform additional recovery actions. Exiting this shell
reboots the system. halt: bring the system to a halt, requiring manual reset
-NOTE: Since kdump.conf is only used to configure the kdump initramfs
-specifying a default action without also specifying a dump target
-will cause the default directive to be ignored. A warning will be issued
-on service start if this invalid configuration is specified. Also note that if
-no default action is specified, reboot is implied.
