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.
