If the kernel crashes before vmcoreinfo initialization, there is
no way to extract KASLR offset for such early s390 dumps.
With a new s390 kernel patch, the KASLR offset will be stored in the lowcore
memory during early boot and then overwritten after vmcoreinfo is
initialized.
This patch allows crash to identify the KASLR offset stored in lowcore
memory for s390 dumps.
