[PATCH 01/13] vmcore: allocate buffer for ELF headers on page-sizealignment

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

Allocate buffer for ELF headers on page-size aligned boudary to
satisfy mmap() requirement. For this, __get_free_pages() is used
instead of kmalloc().

Also, later patch will decrease actually used buffer size for ELF
headers, so it's necessary to keep original buffer size and actually
used buffer size separately. elfcorebuf_sz_orig keeps the original one
and elfcorebuf_sz the actually used one.
