- Bumped crash-internal NR_CPUS for x86 and ia64; added a warning
message to "recompile crash" and forced an initialization failure
when the kernel's configured NR_CPUS is greater than the maximum
allowed NR_CPUS value compiled into crash.

- Fix for initialization failure indicating a kernel/memory-source
mismatch when x86 kernel configures its physical memory start
address higher than the traditional 1MB starting point.

- Fix for kernels that have replaced the "system_utsname" data
structure with contents of the "init_uts_ns" data structure.
This fixes a "crash: cannot resolve system_utsname" initialization
failure. (pbadari(a)us.ibm.com, anderson(a)redhat.com)
- Fix for large LKCD dumpfiles that resulted in an initialization
time failure indicating "fixme, need to add more zones (ZONE_ALLOC)".
When statically-defined ZONE_ALLOC value is too small, the fix
expands the zone size dynamically. (indou.takao(a)jp.fujitsu.com)
- Fix for "kmem -i" failure when the "all_bdevs" block_device list
is empty. Part of the command output would be displayed, followed by
"kmem: invalid kernel virtual address: 0 type: inode buffer".

- First pass at supporting a xen hypervisor kexec/kdump vmcore as the
dumpfile format for the dom0 vmlinux. Developed/tested OK on an x86
vmlinux/vmcore set supplied by horms(a)verge.net.au. Code for x86_64
is in place, but untested. (anderson(a)redhat.com)
- Also in place, but untested, is initial support for xen x86 PAE
kernels. (anderson(a)redhat.com)
