Hello Vitaly,

>_count member was renamed to _refcount in linux commit commit 0139aa7b7fa12
>("mm: rename _count, field of the struct page, to _refcount") and this
>broke makedumpfile. The reason for making the change was to find all users
>accessing it directly and not through the recommended API. I tried
>suggesting to revert the change but failed, I see no other choice than to
>start supporting both _count and _refcount in makedumpfile.

I prefer to check the new symbol name first since it's likely
from now on.

same as OFFSET_INIT.
