[PATCH v17 10/13] arm64: kdump: add VMCOREINFO for user-space coredump tools

From: AKASHI Takahiro <takahiro.akashi at linaro.org>

For the current crash utility, we need to know, at least, a value of
"kimage_voffset" to handle the contents of core dump file (/proc/vmcore)
correctly due to the introduction of KASLR (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE) in v4.6.

More VMCOREINFO may be added later for makedumpfile command.
