    Make monitor command 'dump-guest-memory' be able to dump in kdump-compressed
    format. The command's usage:
    
      dump [-p] protocol [begin] [length] [format]
    
    'format' is used to specified the format of vmcore and can be:
    1. 'elf': ELF format, without compression
    2. 'kdump-zlib': kdump-compressed format, with zlib-compressed
    3. 'kdump-lzo': kdump-compressed format, with lzo-compressed
    4. 'kdump-snappy': kdump-compressed format, with snappy-compressed
    Without 'format' being set, it is same as 'elf'. And if non-elf format is
    specified, paging and filter is not allowed.
    
    Note:
      1. The kdump-compressed format is readable only with the crash utility and
         makedumpfile, and it can be smaller than the ELF format because of the
         compression support.
      2. The kdump-compressed format is the 6th edition.
