[PATCH v4 8/8] vmcore: support mmap() on /proc/vmcore

This patch introduces mmap_vmcore().

If flag MEM_TYPE_CURRENT_KERNEL is set, map buffer on the 2nd
kernel. If not set, map some area in old memory.

Neither writable nor executable mapping is permitted even with
mprotect(). Non-writable mapping is also requirement of
remap_pfn_range() when mapping linear pages on non-consequtive
physical pages; see is_cow_mapping().

On x86-32 PAE kernels, mmap() supports at most 16TB memory only. This
limitation comes from the fact that the third argument of
remap_pfn_range(), pfn, is of 32-bit length on x86-32: unsigned long.
