Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 1/3] vmcore: Add function to merge memory mapping of
 vmcore

vmcore_list has memory map information in the 1st kernel, each of
which represents position and size of the objects like:

  1) NT_PRSTATUS x the number of lcpus
  2) VMCOREINFO
  3) kernel code
  4) copy of the first 640kB memory
  5) System RAM entries

where in /proc/vmcore, 1) and 2) are visible as a single PT_NOTE
entry, and 5) as PT_LOAD entries.

This mapping is never exclusive. For example, any of 1), 2) and 4) is
always contained in one of the System RAM entries.

I add function oldmem_merge_vmcore_list that merges ranges represented
by vmcore_list and makes a merged list in oldmem_list.

We'll remap ranges represented by oldmem_list in direct mapping region
in the patch set that follows this patch.
