This patch applies on top of patch "initial note of excluded page structures".
A time and diskspace option of makedumpfile is to exclude unused
vemmap page structures.
Certain crash commands will fail if they search free page
lists.
They fail with some hint of the problem:
9 2048k ffff8800000133b0 kmem: page excluded: kernel virtual address: ffffea0000007028 type: "first list entry"
This patch further explains to the user why certain kmem options fail:
kmem -f
kmem -F
kmem -s|-S addr
Or may give incomplete results:
kmem -i
