Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt does say

For ppc64:
        "init 1 maxcpus=1 noirqdistrib"

So I been using the following kernel options

kexec -p ./vmlinux-kd \
        --initrd=./initrd-kd.img --args-linux \
        --append="root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 init 1 maxcpus=1 noirqdistrib console=hvc0"

Do you have recommendations?
