OK, thanks for the upload.

Your swap size is slightly smaller than your physical RAM and the dump is not
complete there.  Attached a small patch to hack to leave zeroed pages there
instead although such crash report may not be of much use.

You can temporarily limit your memory by some mem=984M (rather even a bit
smaller) but I understand it is a pain.

TODO item: mkdump should check if the requested device is big enough to hold
the full dump.  Thanks for pinpointing this problem.
