Subject[PATCH v1] kdump, vmcoreinfo: report memory sections virtual addresses
Message-ID<s7wNQ-16E-35@gated-at.bofh.it>
KASLR memory randomization can randomize the base of the physical memory
mapping (PAGE_OFFSET), vmalloc (VMALLOC_START) and vmemmap
(VMEMMAP_START). Adding these variables on VMCOREINFO so tools can
easily identify the base of each memory section.

This makes sense. Makedumpfile need this to parse memory sections.

Ack.

Could it be better to define only one MACRO like VMCOREINFO_
