Dave had some concerns about potentially printing out ~512 messages
for a particular PFN dump, and this seemed like a potential case where
that might still occur if there was some issue with RMP table access.
But I still wanted to print some indicator if we did hit that case,
since it might be related to whatever caused the dump to get triggered.

Similar to above, the loop used to print every populated entry in the
2M range if the dumped PFN wasn't itself in an assigned state, but Dave
had some concerns about flooding. So now the loop only prints 1
populated entry to provide some indication that there are entries
present that could explain things like RMP faults for the PFN that caused
the dump.

That makes it a bit awkward to print a header statement, since you end
up with something like:

 PFN is not assigned, so dumping the first populated RMP entry found with the 2MB range (if any)
 PFN_x is populated, contents [high=... low=...]

Or if nothing found:

 PFN is not assigned, so dumping the first populated RMP entry found with the 2MB range (if any)

Whereas the current logic just prints 1 self-contained statement which
fully explains each of the above cases and doesn't require the user to
infer there was nothing present in the range based on the lack of
statement. It's a little clearer, a little less verbose, and a little easier
to grep for either situation without needed to get context from surrounding
statements.

Yikes. Thanks for the catch.

This is mainly used by the host #PF handler via show_fault_oops(). It
can happen both for kernel or userspace accesses if there's a bug, so
that's why the read_cr3_pa() is needed, since these may be userspace
HVAs. Though I just realized the patch that uses this (next one in the
series) claims to only be for kernel #PFs, so that might cause some
confusion. I'll get that commit message fixed up.

Thanks,

Mike
