If the kernel exports the vmmemap then we can use that symbol in

after all.

This patch tries to:
    1.) Get the "vmemmap" from the vmcore file.
        If we can use the "vmemmap", we implement the arm64_vmemmap_is_page_ptr
        and set it to machdep->is_page_ptr.
    2.) We implement the fast page_to_pfn code in arm64_vmemmap_is_page_ptr.
    3.) Dump it in "help -m"

Test result:
   Without the this patch:
     #files -p xxx > /dev/null (xxx is the inode of vmlinux which is 441M)
       This costed about 185 seconds.

   With the this patch:
     #files -p xxx > /dev/null (xxx is the inode of vmlinux which is 441M)
       This costed 3 seconds.

v3 --> v4:
	Use "files -p" to measure the time.
	Dump it in "help -m"

Applied the 1/2 first,
https://github.com/crash-utility/crash/commit/19d3c56c9fca

and will apply this when a corresponding kernel patch gets applied.

The corresponding kernel patch has been merged:

 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/crash_core-export-vmemmap-when-config_sparsemem_vmemmap-is-enabled.patch


Could you please merge this one for crash?


Thanks

Huang Shijie
