Add vmcoreinfo 

This patch set frees the restriction that makedumpfile users should install a
vmlinux file (including the debugging information) into each system.

makedumpfile command is the dump filtering feature for kdump.  It creates a
small dumpfile by filtering unnecessary pages for the analysis.  To
distinguish unnecessary pages, it needs a vmlinux file including the debugging
information.  These days, the debugging package becomes a huge file, and it is
hard to install it into each system.

To solve the problem, kdump developers discussed it at lkml and kexec-ml.  As
the result, we reached the conclusion that necessary information for dump
filtering (called "vmcoreinfo") should be embedded into the first kernel file
and it should be accessed through /proc/vmcore during the second kernel.

Dan Aloni created the patch set for the above implementation.
(http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.1/1053.html)

And I updated it for multi architectures and memory models.
