[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 3/9] dump: Add API to write vmcore

[Qiao Nuohan]

Function is used to write vmcore. If flag_flatten is specified, flatten format
will be used. In flatten format, data is written block by block in vmcore.
struct MakedumpfileDataHeader is used to indicate the offset and size of a data
block.

struct MakedumpfileDataHeader {
    int64_t offset;
    int64_t buf_size;
};
