Subject: [PATCH 1/2] kdump/mmap: Introduce arch_oldmem_remap_pfn_range()

From: Jan Willeke <willeke@...ibm.com>

Currently the /proc/vmcore mmap patches are not working on s390. The
problem is that on s390 the kernel in not relocatable and therefore
always runs in the lower memory area. Therefore for kdump on s390 we
swap the lower memory area with the crashkernel area before starting
the kdump kernel:

[0 - OLDMEM_SIZE] is mapped to [OLDMEM_BASE - OLDMEM_BASE + OLDMEM_SIZE]

To fix /proc/vmcore mmap memory below OLDMEMSIZE needs to be mapped
with OLDMEM_BASE as offset. To achieve that, a new weak function
arch_oldmem_remap_pfn_range() is introduced.
