+# Check & Report if current kdump is tested

+# A) If $KDUMP_STATUS not exist, then treat kexec-tools as fresh install by
+#    finding the latest vmcore in the host as specified by kdump.conf, record
+#    it into $KDUMP_STATUS, and mark & report this as untested.
+#
+# B) If $KDUMP_STATUS exist, then treat kexec-tools as already installed, and
+#    finding the latest vmcore in the host as specified by kdump.conf,
+#    a) If host is different from $KDUMP_STATUS's record, then update the vmcore
+#       into $KDUMP_STATUS, mark & report this as untested.
+#    b) If host is the same as $KDUMP_STATUS's record,
+#       1) If the timestamp of the vmcore is equal or smaller(older) than
+#          $KDUMP_STATUS's record, then only report the status of $KDUMP_STATUS's
+#          record.
+#       2) If the timestamp of the vmcore is larger(newer) than $KDUMP_STATUS's
+#          record, then update the vmcore into $KDUMP_STATUS, mark & report this
+#          as tested.
