Qiao Nuohan,
is there a reason why you did not implemented the HMP part for that format
of kdump compressed format? After all this is a patch mostly for developers,
so a HMP interface might come handy. Do you already have some patch in
preparation or know somebody doing it?

So in essence: Due to the limitations of the command line parser we cannot
add the format to the hmp command line.
So something like adding
dump_guest_memory_set_format <format>
would be the only possible solution with the hmp code as is. Correct?
Yes, one possibility would be to make the dump command stateful (=
compression format), and to add a new command setting/getting that state.
Another option would be to leave the current command intact, and add an
independent command that wouldn't take "begin", "end", nor "paging", but
would take compression format.
