Subject: [PATCH 2/4] s390/kdump: Use ELFCORE_ADDR_NEWMEM for kdump

Currently for s390 we create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel
with a small trick. We relocate the addresses in the ELF header in
a way that for the /proc/vmcore code it seems to be in the 1st kernel
(old) memory and the read_from_oldmem() returns the correct data.
This allows the /proc/vmcore code to use the ELF header in the
2nd kernel.

This patch now exchanges the old mechanism with the new and much
cleaner ELFCORE_ADDR_NEWMEM feature that now offcially allows to
create the ELF core header in the 2nd kernel.
