With one-month hard work and with the help of a jtag debugger, we finally make kdump works reliablly. Following is the patches. The first 2 patches forms a group, it allow ioremap_nocache to be taken on reserved pages on arm platform (which is prohibited by 309caa9cc) and then use ioremap_nocache to copy kexec required code. The last 1 is for crash dump kernel. It allow kernel to be loaded in the middle of kernel awared physical memory. Without it, crashdump kernel must be carefully configured to boot.
