Why don't we provide a new exported function like [1] as calling
dev_coredumpm() and just another function to configure the timeout
does not look good.

[1]

dev_coredump_timeout(..., timeout);
  __dev_coredump_timeout(...);

dev_coredumpm(..)
  __dev_coredump_timeout(..., DEVCD_TIMEOUT);

dev_coredumpv()
  __dev_coredump_timeout(..., DEVCD_TIMEOUT);

dev_coredumpsg()
   __dev_coredump_timeout(..., DEVCD_TIMEOUT);
