Let's support multiple registered callbacks, making sure that registering vmcore callbacks cannot fail. Make the callback return a bool instead of an int, handling how to deal with errors internally. Drop unused HAVE_OLDMEM_PFN_IS_RAM. We soon want to make use of this infrastructure from other drivers: virtio-mem, registering one callback for each virtio-mem device, to prevent reading unplugged virtio-mem memory. Handle it via a generic vmcore_cb structure, prepared for future extensions: for example, once we support virtio-mem on s390x where the vmcore is completely constructed in the second kernel, we want to detect and add plugged virtio-mem memory ranges to the vmcore in order for them to get dumped properly. Handle corner cases that are unexpected and shouldn't happen in sane setups: registering a callback after the vmcore has already been opened (warn only) and unregistering a callback after the vmcore has already been opened (warn and essentially read only zeroes from that point on).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
