No, I mean we need to add more changes in crash utility. For now,
it's enough to add the existing patch set that tries to add API for reading swap.

OTOH, ZRAM has been enabled by default since fedora 33 and I think then
it's necessary to improve the ZRAM feature in crash utility a bit more
for example to support other compression algorithms other than lzo like
lzo-re that is chosen by default.

Sorry, it's difficult to post next version of the patch set this week,
but it's under development.
