Save PG_compound or PG_head value in VMCOREINFO

From: Petr Tesarik
Date: Tue Nov 27 2012 - 09:17:40 EST


To allow filtering of huge pages, makedumpfile must be able to identify
them in the dump. This can be done by checking for the appropriate
page flag, so communicate its value to makedumpfile through the VMCOREINFO
interface.
