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

Fix /dev/oldmem for kdump
A change to __ioremap() broke reading /dev/oldmem because we're no
longer able to ioremap pfn 0 (d177c207ba16b1db31283e2d1fee7ad4a863584b).
We actually don't need to ioremap for anything that's part of the linear
mapping, so just read it directly.
Also make sure we're only reading one page or less at a time.
