ppc64: fix compressed dump with pseries kernel
If we don't provide the page size in target-ppc:cpu_get_dump_info(), the default one (TARGET_PAGE_SIZE, 4KB) is used to create the compressed dump. It works fine with Macintosh, but not with pseries as the kernel default page size is 64KB. Without this patch, if we generate a compressed dump in the QEMU monitor: (qemu) dump-guest-memory -z qemu.dump This dump cannot be read by crash: # crash vmlinux qemu.dump ... WARNING: cannot translate vmemmap kernel virtual addresses: commands requiring page structure contents will fail ... Page_size is used to determine the dumpfile's block size. The block size needs to be at least the page size, but a multiple of page size works fine too. For PPC64, linux supports either 4KB or 64KB software page size. So we define the page_size to 64KB.
