That would be combersome I think. I rarely used crash in the last years,
so I probably do it all wrong. 

If I have to use crash I get a core file and the used kernel version.
Then I dig the used kernel, kernel-debuginfo and perhaps the KMP rpm
packages from the archives. Everything gets copied to a workdir. The
binaries are extracted 'rpm2cpio|cpio -i' within that workdir. Thats why
I thought '--mod $dir' would let crash only operate below $dir.

So I have to rely on the fact that the uname of the running kernel never
matches the crashed kernel. And if it does happen to match I have to
hope all involved binaries match.
