Subject: [PATCH] Revert "Revert "kdump, vmcoreinfo: report memory sections virtual addresses""

This reverts commit 49fd897573c97b0eaf10f47d850027d78c456cd7.

Reverting back to commit 0549a3c because the values are used by crash
and other tools already. I expected this commit would not go through given
the unresolved comments. I want it to be easy to resolve major memory
section positions when KASLR memory randomization is enabled.
