First of all, two of the listed crash patches are in the 7.1.5-1ubuntu2 package awaiting in zesty-proposed. It is blocked there by an FTBS on z390x. But even with those patches, it still fails so I assume that the other three patches are also needed.
But while trying to test your solution on x86_64, it turns out that it still fails with your patches. I suspect that other patches are needed for this specific architecture.
Regarding your makedumpfile patches, as far as I can tell,they are not required for the crash command to work. They will only improve the filtering of some specific kind of pages.
I am preparing an SRU for makedumpfile, so I will add them for completeness.
I am now trying to identify the missing commit for x86_64 and will see to get that situation fixed.
