Let's export PG_offline via PAGE_OFFLINE_MAPCOUNT_VALUE, so makedumpfile can directly skip pages that are logically offline and the content therefore stale.It would be good to copy some background info from cover letter to the patch description so that we can get better understanding why this is needed now.
Yes, will add more detail!
BTW, Lianbo is working on a documentation of the vmcoreinfo exported fields. Ccing him so that he is aware of this. Also cc Boris, although I do not want the doc changes blocks this he might have different opinion :)
I'll be happy to help updating documentation (or updating it myself if the doc updates go in first). -- Thanks, David / dhildenb
