Ack, I will add some comment.

Yes, we already do the walk in oops function, I'll extend the 
dump_rmpentry() to use the level from the oops to avoid the duplicate walk.

I will add some checks to make sure that we are accessing only safe pfn's.

Here is one example: (in this case page was immutable and HV attempted 
to write to it).

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff98c78ee00000

Most of the rmpentry_xxx assessors read the e->low. The RMP entry is a 
16-bytes. AMD APM defines only a few bits and keeps everything else 
reserved. We are in the process of updating APM to document few more 
bits. I am not adding assessors for the undocumented fields. Until then, 
we dump the entire 16-bytes.

I agree that we are duplicating the information. I can live with just a 
raw dump. That means anyone who is debugging the crash will look at the 
APM to decode the fields.

Actually the comment above says why we are looking for the 2MB region. 
Let me rearrange the comment block so that its more clear.

The reason for iterating through 2MB region is; if the faulting address 
is not assigned in the RMP table, and page table walk level is 2MB then 
one of entry within the large page is the root cause of the fault. Since 
we don't know which entry hence I dump all the non-zero entries.

There are two cases which we need to consider:

1) the faulting page is a guest private (aka assigned)
2) the faulting page is a hypervisor (aka shared)

We will be primarily seeing #1. In this case, we know its a assigned 
page, and we can decode the fields.

The #2 will happen in rare conditions, if it happens, one of the 
undocumented bit in the RMP entry can provide us some useful information 
hence we dump the raw values.
