Yes, I agree with you. However for FV case, e_ident[EI_DATA] is set
according to the host configuration because XEN_DOMCTL_[sg]et_address_bits
doesn't make sense. And there is no easy way to determine the guest OS mode.
The following patch looks okay?
dump-core: update the documentation
This patch updates the document on dump-core file format.

The core file format generated by the host, needs to match that of the guest, so an alignment issue is addressed, along with the p2m frame list handling being done according to the guest size.
