[PATCH v2] powerpc/xmon: support dumping software pagetables

It would be nice to be able to dump page tables in a
particular context.

Example use cases

Dumping PTE contents to see the keys (useful for debugging)

0:mon> dv 0x7ffff7f70000 c00000003b585080
PGD at 0xc00000003ab651f8->0x000000003a255800
PUD at 0xc00000003a255bf8->0x000000003aa84000
PMD at 0xc00000003aa85fb8->0x000000003a823000
physical address->0x00000000012c0000, PTE->0xce800000012c0504
PTE flags A: :R: :

For Hugepages, the output shows the PMD as PTE

0:mon> dv 0x7ffff6000000 c00000003b585080
PGD at 0xc00000003ab651f8->0x000000003a255800
PUD at 0xc00000003a255bf8->0x000000003aa84000
physical address->0x0000000032000000, PTE->0xdc80000032002386
PTE flags A:D:R:W:

Dumping vmalloc space

0:mon> dv 0xd000000000000000
PGD at 0xc0000000012b0000->0x00000000bc170400
PUD at 0xc0000000bc170400->0x000000007e184000
PMD at 0xc00000007e184000->0x00000000bc180000
physical address->0x000000003d2b0000, PTE->0xc08000003d2b018e
PTE flags A:D:R:W:

This patch does not replicate the complex code of dump_pagetable
and has no support for bolted linear mapping, thats why I've it's
called dump virtual page table support. The format of the PTE can
be expanded even further to add more useful information about the
flags in the PTE if required.
