So, the test plan was:
```
[Test Plan]
* Confirm that makedumpfile works as expected by triggering a kdump.
* Confirm that the patched makedumpfile works as expected on a system known to experience the issue.
* Confirm that the patched makedumpfile is able to work with a cp-generated known affected vmcore to compress it. The unpatched version fails.
```
I'm not familiar with this area, but as far as I can tell only the 3rd step has been tested here? Am I misunderstanding the comments, or have we missed some of the test plan?
