Subject: [PATCH v4] tools/mm: Add script to display page state for a given PID and VADDR

From: Ye Liu <liuye@...inos.cn>

Introduces a new drgn script, `show_page_info.py`, which allows users
to analyze the state of a page given a process ID (PID) and a virtual
address (VADDR). This can help kernel developers or debuggers easily
inspect page-related information in a live kernel or vmcore.

The script extracts information such as the page flags, mapping, and
other metadata relevant to diagnosing memory issues.

Output example:
sudo ./show_page_info.py 1 0x7fb3eb1b2000
