[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] dump-guest-memory.py: skip vmcoreinfo section if not available

[Marc-André Lureau]

On some architectures, qemu doesn't support vmcoreinfo device,
and dump-guest-memory fails:

(gdb) dump-guest-memory /tmp/vmcore  ppc64-le
guest RAM blocks:
target_start     target_end       host_addr        message count
---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ------- -----

0000200080000000 0000200080800000 00003ffd86170000 added       2
Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'> No symbol "vmcoreinfo_realize" in current 
context.:
Error occurred in Python command: No symbol "vmcoreinfo_realize" in current 
context.

Check that vmcoreinfo_realize symbol exists before evaluating an
expression with it.
