Introduces a new drgn script, `show_page_info.py`, which allows users
to analyze the state of a page given a process ID (PID) and a virtual
address (VADDR). This can help kernel developers or debuggers easily
inspect page-related information in a live kernel or vmcore.
The script extracts information such as the page flags, mapping, and
other metadata relevant to diagnosing memory issues.
Output example:

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 reStructuredText 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.
