Viktor Prutyanov 2ad9b50f71 dump: add Windows live system dump
Unlike dying Windows, live system memory doesn't contain
correct register contexts. But they can be populated with QEMU register
values.
After this patch, QEMU will be able to produce guest Windows live system
dump.

Viktor Prutyanov 2da91b54fe dump: add Windows dump format to dump-guest-memory
This patch adds Windows crashdumping feature. Now QEMU can produce ELF-dump
containing Windows crashdump header, which can help to convert to a valid
WinDbg-understandable crashdump file, or immediately create such file.
The crashdump will be obtained by joining physical memory dump and 8K header
exposed through vmcoreinfo/fw_cfg device by guest driver at BSOD time. Option
'-w' was added to dump-guest-memory command. At the moment, only x64
configuration is supported.
Suitable driver can be found at
