    config CRASH_DUMP
            bool "kernel crash dumps (EXPERIMENTAL)"
            depends on EMBEDDED
            depends on EXPERIMENTAL
            depends on HIGHMEM
            help
              Generate crash dump after being started by kexec.

    Two questions:
    - If it has any dependencies on kexec, why isn't there a dependency?
    - Is there any sane reason for the dependency on EMBEDDED?
