Now we define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS and SECTION_SIZE_BITS as
macros. But for ARM32 platform, different venders may
define different SECTION_SIZE_BITS. for example:
1 arch/arm/mach-clps711x/include/mach/memory.h
#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 24
2 arch/arm/mach-exynos/include/mach/memory.h
#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 28
3 arch/arm/mach-sa1100/include/mach/memory.h
#define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 27
And if Large Physical Address extension is enabled,
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS may also be changed.
"So makedumpfile can't get an appropriate values of the two
macros since the values are variable even if the architecture
and the kernel version are fixed (at least for arm)" --
Atsushi Kumagai
This patch makes makedumpfile get these two values from
vmcore info, which makes the makedumpfile more compatible.
