Hi Kumagai-san, Hatayama-san,
These patch series fix a problem that makedumpfile cannot handle a dumpfile
which is captured by sadump on KASLR enabled kernel.
When KASLR feature is enabled, a kernel is placed on the memory randomly and
therefore makedumpfile cannot handle a dumpfile because addresses of kernel
symbols in vmlinux are different from actual addresses. In the case of kdump,
information to get actual address is included in the vmcoreinfo, but dumpfile of
sadump does not have such a information.
These patches calculate kaslr offset and phys_base to solve this problem. The
basic idea is getting register (IDTR and CR3) from dump header, and calculate
kaslr_offset/phys_base using them.

v3:
- Split patch 3/3 into two parts
