[PATCH] makedumpfile: clean up draft patch

[Baoquan He]

Hi Atsushi,

Could you please review this draft patch? As we discussed before,
function update_cyclic_region not only update the cyclic region, but
also handle the 1st bitmap and 2nd bitmap. For better understanding and
process, it need be cleaned up. In this patch, struct cycle is
introduced and can be passed down into functions, but not global. I
think this clean up is helpful, and no risk.

What'a your opinion?

Baoquan
Thanks
