Subject: [RFC Patch 1/2] kexec: show memory info in /proc/iomem


This patch implements showing kexec memory area via /proc/iomem.
For example, with this patch we can see:

# cat /proc/iomem
...
00100000-7ffeffff : System RAM
  01000000-012e1424 : Kernel code
  012e1425-015f1aff : Kernel data
  0166b000-01b4b88f : Kernel bss
  02000000-083fffff : Crash kernel
    02000000-028fffff : Used
    02900000-083fffff : Unused
...

So that user can know how much memory the kernel uses for crash kernel.
