[PATCH Makedumpfile 2/4] x86_64: translate all VA to PA using page table values

[Pratyush Anand <panand@redhat.com>]

Currently we translate some of the VA areas using linear mapping while some
other(which can not be linearly mapped) using page table.

However, we will have entry of a page in the page table irrespective of its
virtual region. So, we can always look into page table for any VA to PA
translation. This approach will solve lot of complexity in makedumpfile. It
will in turn remove dependency over variables like VMALLOC_START,
MODULES_VADDR etc whose definition keeps changing in newer kernel version.

Moreover, I do not see any side effect of this approach in terms of
execution timing. I tested with IBM x3950 X6 machine having 4136359 MB of
memory. These are the results of makedumpfile execution time:
