Print a list of pages to be copied if debugging is enabled.
Consecutive entries are merged to reduce screen clutter.

Why is this desirable?

I can understand this as debugging code to understand what is happening,
but why would we want to maintain this print statement long term?

Because the next person who ports kexec to a new platform may need it,
so he doesn't have to reimplement the wheel?

It's disabled by default.

It also serves as documentation for the indirection page.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
