When CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP option is set in kernel, makedumpfile
tool fails to filter vmcore dump as it fails to do translations for
vmemmap addresses that are mapped outside zone normal. For vmemmap
adress translation support in this scenario, few kernel symbols are
needed by dump filtering tool. This patch adds those symbols to
vmcoreinfo, which a dump filtering tool can use for filtering the
kernel dump. This changes are tested successfully with makedumpfile
tool that supports vmemmap to physical address translation outside
zone normal.
Changes from v1:
Updated patch decription and removed #ifdef around extern.
