The part of dump target memory is copied into the 2nd kernel if it doesn't satisfy mmap()'s page-size boundary requirement. To distinguish such copied object from usual old memory, a flag MEM_TYPE_CURRENT_KERNEL is introduced. If this flag is set, the object is considered being copied into buffer on the 2nd kernel.
