Subject: Back out the new advice introduced in the previous commit, which at
 least one reviewer is now unhappy with, since it contains incomplete and
 misleading advice that is not easy to correct.

The net effect of this commit and the previous commit is to simply
remove all discussion of setting dumpdev to catch crash dumps
prior to entering user mode.
