[PATCH v2 0/6] Hyper-V: Implement hypervisor core collection

[Mukesh Rathor <mrathor@linux.microsoft.com>]

This patch series implements hypervisor core collection when running
under Linux as root (aka dom0). By default initial hypervisor RAM is
already mapped into Linux as reserved. Further any RAM deposited comes
from Linux memory heap. The hypervisor locks all that RAM to protect
it from dom0 or any other domains. At a high level, the methodology
involes devirtualizing the system on the fly upon either Linux crash
or the hypervisor crash, then collecting core as usual. This means
hypervisor RAM is automatically collected into the vmcore.
Devirtualization is the process of disabling the hypervisor and 
taking control of the system.

Hypervisor pages are then accessible via crash command (using raw mem
dump) or windbg which has the ability to read hypervisor pdb symbol
file.

V2:
 o change few comments and commit-messages
 o add support for panic_timeout for better support if kdump kernel
   is not loaded.
 o some other minor changes, like change devirt_cr3arg to devirt_arg,
   int to bool. 

V1:
 o Describe changes in imperative mood. Remove "This commit"
 o Remove pr_emerg: causing unnecessary review noise
 o Add missing kexec_crash_loaded()
 o Remove leftover unnecessary memcpy in hv_crash_setup_trampdata
 o Address objtool warnings via annotations
