[PATCH 12/13] vmcore: copy non page-size aligned head and tail pages in 2nd kernel

Due to mmap() requirement, we need to copy pages not starting or
ending with page-size aligned address in 2nd kernel and to map them to
user-space.

For example, see the map below:

    00000000-0001ffff : reserved
    00010000-0009f7ff : System RAM
    0009f800-0009ffff : reserved

where the System RAM ends with 0x9f800 that is not page-size
aligned. This map is divided into two parts:

    00010000-0009dfff
    0009f000-0009f7ff

and the first one is kept in old memory and the 2nd one is copied into
buffer on 2nd kernel.

This kind of non-page-size-aligned area can always occur since any
part of System RAM can be converted into reserved area at runtime.

If not doing copying like this and if remapping non page-size aligned
pages on old memory directly, mmap() had to export memory which is not
dump target to user-space. In the above example this is reserved
0x9f800-0xa0000.
