vmcore: treat memory chunks referenced by PT_LOAD program header entries in page-size boundary in vmcore_list

Browse Source 
Treat memory chunks referenced by PT_LOAD program header entries in
page-size boundary in vmcore_list.  Formally, for each range [start,
end], we set up the corresponding vmcore object in vmcore_list to
[rounddown(start, PAGE_SIZE), roundup(end, PAGE_SIZE)].

This change affects layout of /proc/vmcore.  The gaps generated by the
rearrangement are newly made visible to applications as holes.
Concretely, they are two ranges [rounddown(start, PAGE_SIZE), start] and
[end, roundup(end, PAGE_SIZE)].

Suppose variable m points at a vmcore object in vmcore_list, and
variable phdr points at the program header of PT_LOAD type the variable
m corresponds to.  Then, pictorially:

  m->offset                    +---------------+
                               | hole          |
phdr->p_offset =               +---------------+
  m->offset + (paddr - start)  |               |\
                               | kernel memory | phdr->p_memsz
                               |               |/
                               +---------------+
                               | hole          |
  m->offset + m->size          +---------------+

where m->offset and m->offset + m->size are always page-size aligned.
