Thank you very much for the patch.
I have reviewed your patch and it is almost fine, but I have one concern.
Please let me know your opinion.

If your patch is merged and /proc/vmcore contains VMCOREINFO_XEN,
makedumpfile excludes all the user domain's pages automatically
without any options. So somebody may use makedumpfile only for
printing progress indicator[1] without excluding pages, but it
will be impossible.

So I think it is better that a new option is added for excluding
user domain's pages. For example, there are 2 following plans.

Plan1: Add a new "--exclude-xen-user-domain" option
Plan2: Add a new dump_level '32'

What do you think it ?


Thanks
Ken'ichi Ohmichi
