This patch fixes the /dev/oldmem interface for kdump on ppc64.
The patch originally came from Michael Ellerman hence have
retained the signed-off line. I just rediffed/tested against
latest git. Michael has ack'ed this patch.
Ben this is not a must for 2.6.27 but would be good if it's
included.
Thanks

It's been broken long enough, I think it's a must for 27.
