This VMCORE_2ND_KERNEL tag looks bad.
How about introducing a "unsigned int flag" element in "struct vmcore"
and set the flag MEM_TYPE_OLDMEM for any contents which come from oldmem.
If MEM_TYPE_OLDMEM is not set, it is assumed that contents are to be
fetched from current kernel using pointer vmcore->buf.
BTW, which elements you need to copy from first kernel?
