Looks like my fault. Actually I didn't mean that  LKCD support was 
added. Crash code was modified to allow analysis dump generated on one 
platform (e.g. lkcd on ppc) on another (e.g. generic PC, i386). It was 
tested that with this patch you may cross-analyze  LKCD dumps. This 
should also work with other dump, but this wasn't tested yet.  And so, 
it is said in summary that cross-crash allows the analysis of LKCD dumps.
