This patch adds writing support for /dev/oldmem. This can be used to
- Communicate between original kernel and kexeced kernel through write
to some pages in original kernel.
- Restore the memory contents of hibernated system in kexec based
hibernation.

I believe this is going to break compilation on non-32bit
machines. Or is crashdump only supported on i386?
