Subject: [PATCH v8 7/9] vmcore: Allow user process to remap ELF note segment
 buffer

Now ELF note segment has been copied in the buffer on vmalloc
memory. To allow user process to remap the ELF note segment buffer
with remap_vmalloc_page, the corresponding VM area object has to have
VM_USERMAP flag set.
