Subject: crash: export PAGE_UNACCEPTED_MAPCOUNT_VALUE to vmcoreinfo
Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2025 11:08:01 +0800

On Intel TDX guest, unaccepted memory is unusable free memory which is not
managed by buddy, until it's accepted by guest.  Before that, it cannot be
accessed by the first kernel as well as the kexec'ed kernel.  The kexec'ed
kernel will skip these pages and fill in zero data for the reader of
vmcore.

The dump tool like makedumpfile creates a page descriptor (size 24 bytes)
for each non-free page, including zero data page, but it will not create
descriptor for free pages.  If it is not able to distinguish these
unaccepted pages with zero data pages, a certain amount of space will be
wasted in proportion (~1/170).  In fact, as a special kind of free page
the unaccepted pages should be excluded, like the real free pages.

Export the page type PAGE_UNACCEPTED_MAPCOUNT_VALUE to vmcoreinfo, so that
dump tool can identify whether a page is unaccepted.
