#define VMCOREINFO_NUMBER(name) \
        vmcoreinfo_append_str("NUMBER(%s)=%ld\n", #name, (long)name)

VMCOREINFO_NUMBER is defined as above, so it looks questionable to add
more users of that for different data types although it may work in real
world.

A new macro like below may be better, may need to choose a better name
though:
_VMCOREINFO_NUMBER(name, format, type)
so you can pass the format specifier and data types explictly
