On Intel TDX guest, unaccepted memory is unusable free memory which is not
managed by buddy, until it's accepted by guest. Before that, it cannot be
accessed by the first kernel as well as the kexec'ed kernel. The kexec'ed
kernel will skip these pages and fill in zero data for the reader of
vmcore.
The dump tool like makedumpfile creates a page descriptor (size 24 bytes)
for each non-free page, including zero data page, but it will not create
descriptor for free pages. If it is not able to distinguish these
unaccepted pages with zero data pages, a certain amount of space will be
wasted in proportion (~1/170). In fact, as a special kind of free page
the unaccepted pages should be excluded, like the real free pages.
Export the page type PAGE_UNACCEPTED_MAPCOUNT_VALUE to vmcoreinfo, so that
dump tool can identify whether a page is unaccepted.

By using a few values in the top byte, users of page_type can store up to
24 bits of additional data in page_type. It also reduces the code size as
(with replacement of READ_ONCE() with data_race()), the kernel can check
just a single byte. eg:
ffffffff811e3a79: 8b 47 30 mov 0x30(%rdi),%eax
ffffffff811e3a7c: 55 push %rbp
ffffffff811e3a7d: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
ffffffff811e3a80: 25 00 00 00 82 and $0x82000000,%eax
ffffffff811e3a85: 3d 00 00 00 80 cmp $0x80000000,%eax
ffffffff811e3a8a: 74 4d je ffffffff811e3ad9 <folio_mapping+0x69>
becomes:
ffffffff811e3a69: 80 7f 33 f5 cmpb $0xf5,0x33(%rdi)
ffffffff811e3a6d: 55 push %rbp
ffffffff811e3a6e: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
ffffffff811e3a71: 74 4d je ffffffff811e3ac0 <folio_mapping+0x60>
replacing three instructions with one.

Reclaim the Slab page flag by using a spare bit in PageType. We are
perennially short of page flags for various purposes, and now that the
original SLAB allocator has been retired, SLUB does not use the
mapcount/page_type field. This lets us remove a number of special cases
for ignoring mapcount on Slab pages.

The current folio_test_hugetlb() can be fooled by a concurrent folio split
into returning true for a folio which has never belonged to hugetlbfs.
This can't happen if the caller holds a refcount on it, but we have a few
places (memory-failure, compaction, procfs) which do not and should not
take a speculative reference.
Since hugetlb pages do not use individual page mapcounts (they are always
fully mapped and use the entire_mapcount field to record the number of
mappings), the PageType field is available now that page_mapcount()
ignores the value in this field.
In compaction and with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, the current implementation
can result in an oops, as reported by Luis. This happens since 9c5ccf2db04b
("mm: remove HUGETLB_PAGE_DTOR") effectively added some VM_BUG_ON() checks
in the PageHuge() testing path.

In memory_model.h, if CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is configed, kernel will
use vmemmap to do the __pfn_to_page/page_to_pfn, and kernel will not use
the "classic sparse" to do the __pfn_to_page/page_to_pfn.
So export the vmemmap when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is configed. This
makes the user applications (crash, etc) get faster
pfn_to_page/page_to_pfn operations too.

Now move the relevant codes into separate files:
kernel/crash_reserve.c, include/linux/crash_reserve.h.
And add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling.
And also update the old ifdeffery of CONFIG_CRASH_CORE, including of
<linux/crash_core.h> and config item dependency on CRASH_CORE
accordingly.
And also do renaming as follows:
- arch/xxx/kernel/{crash_core.c => vmcore_info.c}
because they are only related to vmcoreinfo exporting on x86, arm64,
riscv.
And also Remove config item CRASH_CORE, and rely on CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE to
decide if build in crash_core.c.
