[PATCH kexec-tools v2 05/32] arm: fix kdump to work on LPAE systems

We need to use 64-bit file IO when mapping system memory and the core
dump file as we may be running on a LPAE system, otherwise we risk
mapping memory we shouldn't, and causing a kernel oops:

Unhandled fault: asynchronous external abort (0x211) at 0x00000000
