[21/82] x86, kdump: Change copy_oldmem_page() to use cached addressing

[Greg KH]

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Cliff Wickman <cpw at sgi.com>

commit 37a2f9f30a360fb03522d15c85c78265ccd80287 upstream.

The copy of /proc/vmcore to a user buffer proceeds much faster
if the kernel addresses memory as cached.

With this patch we have seen an increase in transfer rate from
less than 15MB/s to 80-460MB/s, depending on size of the
transfer. This makes a big difference in time needed to save a
system dump.
