Could you be so kind and add a note to the usage section that dumping memory on a virtual (linux) system needs the parameter timeout=0. Otherwise the dump is most likely not usable. Or set the default value for timeout to 0. That could prevent some trouble, extra work and frustation.

Your assertion that you need to disable timeouts to collect memory from Linux VMs is not accurate. If it takes longer than a second to read from a single memory page, then I wonder if something deeper is going on.
