Pagetables etc. are all in 'p' address space, so there should be no need for
p2m or m2p in that case I think

In fact pagetables could be canonicalised into 'p' space for PV guests too
(xc_linux_save has the code for this) then there'd be no need to dump the
p2m table in the core dump at all. Save format and core dump format should
probably be one and the same!
