OK.. I made the change for KVBASE and pushed it to my github repo.

Not sure if you can share the output with --message-level 31, but do you see any
thing susceptible there?

# makedumpfile -l --message-level 31 rawvmcore makedumpfilevmcore

Can you compare "Virtual kernel memory layout:" print of Linux kernel boot with
makedumpfile print for page_offset, vmalloc_start, vmemmap_start etc, and see if
they match?

They should match.
