[PATCH] kdump: cleanups for dump file access in linear raw format

Browse source 
Removed the dependency on backup region.  Now all the information is encoded
in ELF format.  /dev/oldmem is a dummy interface.  User space tool need to be
intelligent enough to parse the elf headers and read the relevant memory areas
with the help of /dev/oldmem.
