flatten format will be used when writing kdump-compressed format. The format is
also used by makedumpfile, you can refer to the following URL to get more
detailed information about flatten format of kdump-compressed format:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/makedumpfile/
The two functions here are used to write start flat header and end flat header
to vmcore, and they will be called later when flatten format is used.
struct MakedumpfileHeader stored at the head of vmcore is used to indicate the
vmcore is in flatten format.
struct MakedumpfileHeader {
char signature[16]; /* = "makedumpfile" */
int64_t type; /* = 1 */
int64_t version; /* = 1 */
};
And struct MakedumpfileDataHeader, with offset and buf_size set to -1, is used
to indicate the end of vmcore in flatten format.
struct MakedumpfileDataHeader {
int64_t offset; /* = -1 */
int64_t buf_size; /* = -1 */
};

While the machine is paused, in guest_phys_blocks_append() we register a
one-shot MemoryListener, solely for the initial collection of the valid
guest-physical memory ranges that happens at listener registration time.
For each range that is reported to guest_phys_blocks_region_add(), we
attempt to merge the range with the preceding one.
Ranges can only be joined if they are contiguous in both guest-physical
address space, and contiguous in host virtual address space.
The "maximal" ranges that remain in the end constitute the guest-physical
memory map that the dump will be based on.

The vmcore must use physical addresses that are visible to the guest, not
addresses that point into linear RAMBlocks. As first step, introduce the
list type into which we'll collect the physical mappings in effect at the
time of the dump.

Even a trusted & clean-state guest can map more memory than what it was
given. Since the vmcore contains RAMBlocks, mapping sizes should be
clamped to RAMBlock sizes. Otherwise such oversized mappings can exceed
the entire file size, and ELF parsers might refuse even the valid portion
of the PT_LOAD entry.

fd_write_vmcore() will indefinitely spin for a non-blocking
file-descriptor that would block. However, if the fd is non-blocking,
how does it make sense to spin?
Change this behavior to return an error instead.
Note that this can only happen with an fd provided by a management
application. The fd opened internally by dump-guest-memory is blocking.
While there, also fix 'writen_size' variable name.

dump.c was recently added to the code. It unconditionally
includes sys/procfs which is not available with MinGW (w32, w64).
It looks like this file is not needed at all (tested on Linux),
so I removed it completely.
Some other include statements are also redundant because they are
already included in qemu-common, therefore they were removed, too.

The command's usage:
dump-guest-memory [-p] protocol [begin] [length]
The supported protocol can be file or fd:
1. file: the protocol starts with "file:", and the following string is
the file's path.
2. fd: the protocol starts with "fd:", and the following string is the
fd's name.
Note:
1. If you want to use gdb to process the core, please specify -p option.
The reason why the -p option is not default is:
a. guest machine in a catastrophic state can have corrupted memory,
which we cannot trust.
b. The guest machine can be in read-mode even if paging is enabled.
For example: the guest machine uses ACPI to sleep, and ACPI sleep
state goes in real-mode.
2. If you don't want to dump all guest's memory, please specify the start
physical address and the length.
