This patch will fix a bug of makedumpfile doesn't work correctly on system
has over 44-bit addressing in compression dump mode.
This bug was posted here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2013-September/009587.html
This patch will add a new field in struct kdump_sub_header.
unsigned long max_mapnr;
And the old "unsigned int max_mapnr" in struct disk_dump_header will
not be used anymore. But still be there for compatibility purpose.
This patch will change the header_version to 6.
The corresponding patch for crash utility will be sent out separately.
This patch doesn't change sadump_header.
Because of in sadump file, there is no any sub-header, it has to change
the sadump_header itself.
And if do so, will cause backwards-compatibility issue.
So it could be a separate patch if needed.

x86 PAE mode can represents 52-bit physical addresses and so 40-bit physical
page frames. On x86_32 unsigned long has 32-bit length only. So, you should
define max_mapnr as unsigned long long.

This, too.
