commit 5640c23ff0cf68ce34eb93bdd02077f7ca1a4ea9
Author: Dyno (Hongjun) Fu <hfu@vmware.com>
Date:   Tue Mar 24 13:47:46 2015 -0700

    add vmss memory regions support
    
    There might be holes in the guest os memory address saved for PCI
    etc.  The memory dump will be divided into regions to skip these
    holes.
    
    On vSphere 5.5, RHEL 6.5 memory dump larger than 3GB is such a
    case.
