Thanks for the patch, but what kernel versions does this option support? 
  The oldest vmcore I have is 2.6.9 (RHEL4), even it is not supported:

   crash-x86> kmem -l a c103af40
   kmem: active_list does not exist in this kernel

It looks like this option has not been fixed for a long time, so I think 
there is no demand so far.  I would not like to make it go public for now.

So if we do something, how about removing the two lines..?

Thanks,
Kazu
