For the linux parts there is (L?)GPLed code in linux_kdump (the main reason that it is a port, I think), it is unlikely that someone sits there and will do a clean-room implementation of those linux-kernel derived things (I like to get proven wrong, anyone out there accepts the challenge? ;-) ). Dmitry provided an updated linux-kdump which contains preprocessed things (no need to have a non-default linuxulator setup). I have the corresponding PR assigned to me, but from his comments it looks like his new version depends upon his changes and does not DTRT without them (I am awaiting confirmation, and I asked about changes to let it DTRT if this is true).
