[PATCH kexec-tools 04/32] kdump: fix kdump mapping

When kdump tries to map the program header, it fails to take account
of ehdr->e_phoff being an offset from the start of the ELF "file",
which causes:

Cannot mmap /dev/mem offset: 64 size: 392: Invalid argument

Ensure that we take account of the start address when mapping this.

This fix has been extracted from a larger patch by Vitaly Andrianov
adding support for Keystone 2.
