pfn

Yeah that's indeed useful, however I'm less sure if kernel log is the proper way
to extract the data. For example IIRC with the page_owner file can "seek to pfn"
to dump it, although that makes it somewhat harder to use.
Or we could write pfn to one file and read the dump from another one? But that's
not atomic.
Perhaps if we could do something like "cat /sys/kernel/debug/dump_page/<pfn>"
without all the pfns being actually listed in the dump_page directory with "ls"?
Is that possible?
