[PATCH] makedumpfile: Use file offset in initialize_mmap()

Hi all,
update_mmap_range() expects a file offset as its first argument, but
initialize_mmap() passes a physical address. Since the first segment
usually starts at physical addr 0 on S/390, but there is no segment
at file offset 0, update_mmap_range() fails, and makedumpfile falls
back to read().
@Michael: I wonder how you actually tested the kernel mmap patches;
this bug has prevented mmap on all my s390 systems...
