makedumpfile: a feature question about filtering

Hello,

There is an appeal which only wants to save some user page including env
and args pages, and discards the other user space pages.

To achieve this feature, mm_struct's members "arg_start, arg_end,
env_start, env_end;" should be accessed. So we need to export mm_struct
and init_mm through vmcore.

This somewhat overlaps with the function of crash utility. And I want to
know if this feature is acceptable in upstream.

Any comment and suggestion?

Thanks,
Pingfan
