v6 06/11 addded these, but we have the following changes here:
- flag_flatten is gone, OK,
- bunch of comments, good,
- page_shift and num_dumpable are now added at once (originally in v6
07/11).

This is from v6 10/11, OK.

Again from v6 10/11, good. The flag_flatten assignment has been dropped.
Initialization seems to happen in a good spot this time too.

Again from v6 10/11.

These assignments now all occur without depending on a user request for
a compressed dump (kept this way in v7 12/13 too), but they are not
costly. The loop in get_max_mapnr() iterates over less than 10 mappings
in the non-paging dump case, and in the paging dump case it also
shouldn't be more than a hundred or so (as I recall from earlier
testing). This might be worth some regression-testing (perf-wise), but
it looks OK to me.
