To satisfy mmap()'s page-size boundary requirement, allocate per-cpu
crash_notes objects on page-size boundary.
/proc/vmcore on the 2nd kernel checks if each note objects is
allocated on page-size boundary. If there's some object not satisfying
the page-size boundary requirement, /proc/vmcore doesn't provide
mmap() interface.
