Works fine for s390/s390x.

sial is a C-like scripting language, which has the big
advantage, that you can often just copy kernel code into
a sial script. You can implement your own lcrash commands
in sial.

It is by far better to use for dumpanalyis then using gdb
macros. At least I have not seen any gdb macros used for
dumpanalysis. Do you have?
