[PATCH v2 0/2] makedumpfile: few ARM fixes

Hi,

While using makedumpfile on ARM I found few issues from the current
implementation. Basically the current implementation only works on
3G/1G VM split but not others.

These patches should make makedumpfile on ARM to work on other VM
split values as well. I've tested with 1G/3G, 2G/2G, 3G/1G, and
VMSPLIT_3G_OPT (2.7G/1.3G).

Changes to previous version:
	- removed any references to vmalloc_start as per review comments

This version still allows users to use '--vtop' option to perform V->P
translations via page tables.

Regards,
MW

  ARM: determine PAGE_OFFSET from _stext
  ARM: don't depend on vmalloc_start
