Michael Holzheu 4857d4bbe9 [S390] kernel: Add OS info memory interface
In order to allow kdump based stand-alone dump, some information
has to be passed from the old kernel to the new dump kernel. This
is done via a the struct "os_info" that contains the following fields:
 * crashkernel base and size
 * reipl block
 * vmcoreinfo
 * init function
A pointer to os_info is stored at a well known storage location
and the whole structure as well as all fields are secured with
checksums.

Michael Holzheu 07ea815b22 [S390] Remove error checking from copy_oldmem_page()
Currently it can happen that the pre-allocated ELF header contains a wrong
memory map which would result in errors when copying /proc/vmcore.
In order to still get a valid vmcore, we (temporarily) disable the error
checking in copy_oldmem_page(). This will then produce zero pages for those
memory regions.
