1) Previously for pre-dump and dump, memory draining was for complete 
page-pipe which constituted former part.

Corresponding page-map generation was later part. The 
page_xfer_dump_pages() function fits with this design, generating

page-maps for complete page-pipe at once.

2) Objective was to have different page-drain mechanism for pre-dump and 
dump. Now, pre-dump is modified and the dump

stage still works in traditional way so it requires original 
page_xfer_dump_pages() function.

In modified pre-dump, I am dealing at page-pipe-buffer level instead of 
page-pipe level. So, memory drain and page-map generation

happen together for each of the page-pipe-buffer.

I preferred to have new function with bit of code repetition, just to 
have clean segregation between dump and new pre-dump.

This was carried from previous patch. Not necessary. Please ignore.
