From: Kazuhito Hagio <k-hagio-ab@xxxxxxx>
The current comparison macros for kernel version shift minor number only
8 bits. This can cause an unexpected result on kernels with revision
number over 255, e.g. Linux 4.14.314.
In fact, on Linux 4.14.314 for x86_64 without CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y
(KASLR), the following condition became false in x86_64_init().
((THIS_KERNEL_VERSION >= LINUX(4,14,84)) &&
(THIS_KERNEL_VERSION < LINUX(4,15,0)))
As a result, crash used a wrong hard-coded value for PAGE_OFFSET and
failed to start a session with the following seek error.
crash: seek error: physical address: 200e000 type: "pud page"
Shift the major and minor number by 24 and 16 bits respectively to fix
this issue.
