Subject: [PATCH] ramoops: Add support for ARM systems.

The ramoops driver erroneously (I belive) uses ioremap() to map physical RAM
to a virtual address.  This happens to work on x86 which has this additional
support, but it does not work on ARM.

Add support for ARM by using xlate_dev_mem_ptr() for systems (like ARM) where
page_is_ram() returns true.  This is what the /dev/mem driver uses, and we use
that driver to access the data.
