Subject: Generic handling of multi-page exclusions.
References: bnc#873232
Patch-mainline: v1.5.7
Git-commit: 6c19012f352d13147211cb3573e70d051a109a41

When multiple pages are excluded from the dump, store the extents in
struct cycle and check if anything is still pending on the next invocation
of __exclude_unnecessary_pages. This assumes that:

1. after __exclude_unnecessary_pages is called for a struct mem_map_data
     that extends beyond the current cycle, it is not called again during
     that cycle,
  2. in the next cycle, __exclude_unnecessary_pages is not called before
     this final struct mem_map_data.

Both assumptions are met if struct mem_map_data segments:

1. do not overlap,
  2. are sorted by physical address in ascending order.

These two conditions are true for all supported memory models.

Note that the start PFN of the excluded extent is set to the end of the
current cycle (which is equal to the start of the next cycle, see
update_cycle), so only the part of the excluded region which falls beyond
current cycle buffer is valid. If the excluded region is completely
processed in the current cycle, the start PFN is bigger than the end PFN
and no work is done at the beginning of the next cycle.

After processing the leftover from last cycle, pfn_start and mem_map are
adjusted to skip the excluded pages. There is no check whether the
adjusted pfn_start is within the current cycle. Nothing bad happens if
it isn't, because pages outside the current cyclic region are ignored by
the subsequent loop, and the remainder is postponed to the next cycle by
exclude_range().
