Pingfan, thank you for the check and test, it's very helpful.

Ankur told me that the patch was working fine.

Lianbo, my understanding is that to get a raw ramdump, hardware functionality

or something is required.  But maybe you can reproduce a similar situation
with QEMU memory dump without vmcoreinfo?  e.g. on RHEL:

  # virsh dump <domain> domain.dump --memory-only

but you may need a kernel configured with VA_BITS=48 to reproduce and check
the fix, I guess.

Thanks,
Kazu
