[Qemu-devel] [PULL 06/32] dump: add API to write vmcore

[Luiz Capitulino]

From: qiaonuohan <address@hidden>

Function is used to write vmcore in flatten format. In flatten format, data is
written block by block, and in front of each block, a struct
MakedumpfileDataHeader is stored there to indicate the offset and size of the
data block.

struct MakedumpfileDataHeader {
    int64_t offset;
    int64_t buf_size;
};
