[RFC][PATCH 2/2] kexec: Export PG_hwpoison flag into vmcoreinfo

[Mitsuhiro Tanino]

This patch exports a PG_hwpoison into vmcoreinfo when
CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE is defined.
"makedumpfile" needs to read information of memory, such as
'mem_section', 'zone', 'pageflags' from vmcore.

We introduce a new "-p" option into "makedumpfile" to
exclude hwpoison page from vmcore dump.
In order to introduce this feature, PG_hwpoison flag have
to export into vmcoreinfo.
