Why I did it
Enabling kdump by default for cisco-8000 by setting crashkernel cmdline arg in device installer.conf.
After bootup, sonic-kdump-config wipes crashkernel arg from /host/grub/grub.cfg, and resets USE_KDUMP in /etc/default/kdump-tools, so kdump will not be enabled on subsequent reboot.
How I did it
Setting kdump enable config as part of init_cfg.json for cisco-8000 platforms.
How to verify it
Install SONiC image with kdump enabled by default (device/hwsku/installer.conf), then reboot.
Kdump config should persist on subsequent reboots and kdump loaded during bootup.
Which release branch to backport (provide reason below if selected)
Description for the changelog
Enabling kdump by default for cisco-8000 platforms.
