If there's some vmcore object that doesn't satisfy page-size boundary
requirement, remap_pfn_range() fails to remap it to user-space.
Objects that posisbly don't satisfy the requirement are ELF note
segments only. The memory chunks corresponding to PT_LOAD entries are
guaranteed to satisfy page-size boundary requirement by the copy from
old memory to buffer in 2nd kernel done in later patch.
