[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/6] scripts/dump-guest-memory.py: Add multi-arch support

[Janosch Frank]

The dump guest memory script for extracting a Linux core from a qemu
core is currently limited to amd64 and python 2.

With this series we add support for python 3 (while maintaining python
2 support) and add the possibility to extract dumps from VMs with the
most common architectures.

Tested on X86_64, s390 and Aarch64-le (thanks to Andrew Jones).

RFC to PATCH:
    Tested on X86_64 and Aarch64-le.
    Fix wrongly indented return in get_guest_phys_blocks().
    Fix wrong indent for predecessor_size that happened when copying.
    Fix inconsistent line wrapping.
    Fix python 3 compatibility comment being added in the wrong commit.
    Fix docstrings that get displayed by gdb.
    Replaced ceil(len_desc / 4.0) with ((len_desc + 3) // 4)
    Added patch that fixes module docstring to account for moved gdb
    help string.
