Changes since V1:
https://lore.kernel.org/kexec/20230927111822.180630-1-songshuaishuai@tinylab.org/

- fix a typo in Patch2's commit-msg
- adjust some indentions of Patch1


These 2 patches add riscv64 support for makedumpfile:

Patch1 - Add riscv64 support 
===========================

This patch adds support for riscv64 in makedumpfile.
It implements the "vtop" for kenrel memory regions
and supports Sv39/Sv48/Sv57 page modes for RV64.


Patch2 - riscv64: Correct the pfn_start for flatmem
==================================================

This patch temporarily fixes a issue of the tests about FLATMEM, 
as the commit-msg says:
  
    To let info->max_mapnr indicate the direct max PFN and then
    make the kdump header's max_mapnr_64 correct, riscv64 port
    didn't define ARCH_PFN_OFFSET.
    
    As for FLATMEM type, the pfn region of mem_map_data should
    be adjusted to start from info->phys_base instead of zero.


Tests
=====

With these 2 patches, the following tests had passed in RV64 Qemu virt machine:

Preparation: 
-----------

1. build kernel with FLATMEM and SPARSE memory models 
2. boot kernel with 3 different page-modes by setting nov4l/nov5l in cmdline 
3. panic kernel 

Tests:
-----

1. create kdump-compressed file via this command 
   - `/mnt/mkdf_f -d31 -f -c /proc/vmcore /mnt/dump.file1`
   - or with `--vtop` option to translate some typical addresses (like:
     kernel_link_addr, vmalloc_start, page_offset)

2. start crash with kdump file and do some VTOPs 


A test log: 
-----------

# With the Sv57 and SPARSE_EXTREME kernel  
# vtop the vmalloc start address -- 0xff20000000000000


# /mnt/mkdf_f  --vtop 0xff20000000000000 -d31 -f --non-mmap -c /proc/vmcore /mnt/dump.file1
