The LKCD patch is no longer part of the SUSE kernel source. I checked lkcd.sourceforge.net, and no patch for the current version. It appears that kexec / kdump is now the only dump tool available for SUSE.
Yet, the lkcdutils package is still part of the distribution. It should really be dropped, as lcrash is no longer functional. lcrash requires a Kerntypes file, which is no longer created during a kernel build. At this time, lkcdutils is a totally useless package.
I believe that there is one or two remaining architectures that cannot yet use kexec+kdump, and must still use lkcdutils. I'm not sure that it is useless, perhaps just useless for you. :)
