(Akeem & Thomas) - Rework error capture interactions, including no longer needing NEEDS_CPU_ACCESS for objects marked for capture. (Thomas) - Add probed_cpu_visible_size. (Lionel) v3: - Drop the vma query for now. - Add unallocated_cpu_visible_size as part of the region query. - Improve the docs some more, including documenting the expected behaviour on older kernels, since this came up in some offline discussion.
