Add a boolean parameter to minidumpsys(), to indicate a live dump. When
requested, take a snapshot of important global state, and pass this to
the machine-dependent minidump function. For now this includes the
kernel message buffer, and the bitset of pages to be dumped. Beyond
this, we don't take much action to protect the integrity of the dump
from changes in the running system.
A new function msgbuf_duplicate() is added for snapshotting the message
buffer. msgbuf_copy() is insufficient for this purpose since it marks
any new characters it finds as read.
For now, nothing can actually trigger a live minidump. A future patch
will add the mechanism for this. For simplicity and safety, live dumps
are disallowed for mips.
