[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] dump: add kernel_gs_base to QEMU CPU state

[Viktor Prutyanov]

This patch adds field with content of KERNEL_GS_BASE MSR to QEMU note in
ELF dump.

On Windows, if all vCPUs are running usermode tasks at the time the dump is
created, this can be helpful in the discovery of guest system structures
during conversion ELF dump to MEMORY.DMP dump.

 v2: keep version 1 in QEMUCPUState and document the extension procedure
 v3: enable kernel_gs_base filling only on x86_64
