Hi,
Missing "Crash note" in /proc/iomem (dom 0) happens on the Xen 3.4.*.
This causes a crash dump cannot be analyzed normally.
This patch fixes this problem.
This patch is for linux-2.6.18-xen.hg.
The range of "Crash note" is within the "Hypervisor code and data" 
on the Xen 3.3.* and before. The code assumed this.
It is not true for the Xen 3.4.
== example: before patch: one of two "Crash note" is missing
# cat /proc/iomem 
...
00100000-c779ffff : System RAM
 02000000-09ffffff : Crash kernel
 c7300000-c74aa35f : Hypervisor code and data
 c7456080-c7456213 : Crash note
c77a0000-c77adfff : ACPI Tables
...
== example: after patch: two "Crash note" are showed normally
# cat /proc/iomem 
...
00100000-c779ffff : System RAM
 02000000-09ffffff : Crash kernel
 c7300000-c74aa35f : Hypervisor code and data
 c7456080-c7456213 : Crash note
 c7791c00-c7791df3 : Crash note
c77a0000-c77adfff : ACPI Tables
...
This problem is occured on the x86_64 only. This patch has no bad effect for
other architectures and is backword compatible.
Please apply this patch to the newer dom-0 kernel too.
Thanks.
