Vivek Goyal 4ae362be50 [PATCH] kdump: read previous kernel's memory
- Moving the crash_dump.c file to arch dependent part as kmap_atomic_pfn is
  specific to i386 and highmem may not exist in other archs.

- Use ioremap for x86_64 to map the previous kernel memory.

- In copy_oldmem_page(), we now directly copy to the user/kernel buffer and
  avoid the unneccesary copy to a kmalloc'd page.

* Calling copy_to_user() in atomic context is not desirable. Hence first
* copying the data to a pre-allocated kernel page and then copying to user
* space in non-atomic context.
