I'm not sure that "7/8: makes vmlist only for kexec" is fine.
Because it is related to userspace program.
As far as I know, makedumpfile use kexec's output information and it only
need first address of vmalloc layer. So my implementation reflect this
fact, but I'm not sure. And now, I don't fully test this patchset.
Basic operation work well, but I don't test kexec. So I send this
patchset with 'RFC'.
Yes, this is irritating.  Perhaps Vivek or one of the other kexec
people could take a look at this please - if would obviously be much
better if we can avoid merging [patch 7/8] at all.
