Whether the source is init_level4_pgt or init_top_pgt, the value will
be kept as SYMBOL(init_level4_pgt), so this conditional judgment is meaningless.
I think what you want to do is like commit: ed46b6ad9, but I don't want to
introduce a new flag every time a symbol name is changed. So how about
unification into "init_level4_pgt" for backward compatibility ?
The old name can be read in all versions of makedumpfile.
Thanks,
Atsushi Kumagai
