[Makedumpfile Patch 0/6] Fix --mem-usage /proc/kcore

[Pratyush Anand]

`makedumpfile --mem-usage /proc/kcore` has been broken after kaslr specific
modifications. I have proposed a kernel patch [0] which has been ACKed by
Andrew Morton and is available in next-2017020 now. Hopefully, it should be
part of upstream in v4.10 release. This kernel patch helps to fix this
issue for both the case of kaslr enabled and disabled.

To seek other's feedback, I am sending makedumpfile patches before kernel
patch hits upstream.
