I have one obvious question. Throughout the patch-set you are using
KDUMP_DUMPFILE() as a qualifier, which is restricted to ELF vmcores
only. While the use of ELF vmcores is an option, it's far more likely
that the output format of "virsh dump --memory-only" will utilize one
of the compressed kdump formats, using zlib, lzo or snappy.
Ups... this QEMU I'm using (2.9.0) generates ELF cores by default, and I
totally forgot about the "--format" argument.
Will try with other formats too.
