Add free page filtering logic in the processing looking up mem_map
array. page_is_buddy handler is newly introduced, which abstracts
condition of determining buddy page that varies depending on kernel
versions. On makedumpfile suppoting range of kernel versions, there
are three kinds of page_is_buddy, which are introduced in later
patches. Also, _mapcount and private fields of page struct are newly
introduced, which are used in the page_is_buddy handlers.
