+/**
+ * struct vmcore_cb - driver callbacks for /proc/vmcore handling
+ * @pfn_is_ram: check whether a PFN really is RAM and should be accessed when
+ *              reading the vmcore. Will return "true" if it is RAM or if the
+ *              callback cannot tell. If any callback returns "false", it's not
+ *              RAM and the page must not be accessed; zeroes should be
+ *              indicated in the vmcore instead. For example, a ballooned page
+ *              contains no data and reading from such a page will cause high
+ *              load in the hypervisor.
+ * @next: List head to manage registered callbacks internally; initialized by
+ *        register_vmcore_cb().
+ *
+ * vmcore callbacks allow drivers managing physical memory ranges to
+ * coordinate with vmcore handling code, for example, to prevent accessing
+ * physical memory ranges that should not be accessed when reading the vmcore,
+ * although included in the vmcore header as memory ranges to dump.
