Subject: [PATCH v2] xen,kdump: handle pv domain in paddr_vmcoreinfo_note()

For kdump to work correctly it needs the physical address of
vmcoreinfo_note. When running as dom0 this means the virtual address
has to be translated to the related machine address.

paddr_vmcoreinfo_note() is meant to do the translation via
__pa_symbol() only, but being attributed "weak" it can be replaced
easily in Xen case.

Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com>

Changes in V2:
- use __pa_symbol() (Boris Ostrovsky)
- remove unneeded casts (Jan Beulich)

This patch needs to be rebased on top of Vitaly's series to split
pv- and hvm-code. I'll do this as soon as his series is in the Xen
tree in its final form.
