[PATCH v3 9/9] teach crash to accept live:MEMORY-IMAGE[@ADDRESS]

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Now I can run qemu with the memory-backend-file option and use /usr/bin/crash
in "live" mode using the file(s) specified by mem-path argument as a RAM dump.
For example,

	$ qemu-kmv ...other-options... \
	  -object memory-backend-file,id=MEM,size=128m,mem-path=/tmp/MEM,share=on \
	  -numa node,memdev=MEM -m 128

and
	$ crash path-to-guests-vmlinux live:/tmp/MEM@0

NOTE: in this particular (and simple) case the offset is always zero. In more
complex situations the ram-to-file mapping used by qemu can be nontrivial, but
it is very simple to add the support for MEMORY-IMAGE@ADDRESS-LENGTH syntax.
