[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/3] Support for limiting guest coredumps

Even though I got a sparse ACK on v1, it's been some time, all the
things should be fixed. Also the QEMU patch is already upstream.

This series applies on the disable_s3/s4 series [1] and works with
qemu patch [2] (upstream already).

Basically qemu supports marking guest memory as (not)dumpable using
madvise(2) system call and in case the guest memory is not desired the
option can reduce the coredump by a reasonable size.
