On PAE systems (eg, ARM LPAE) the vmcore note may be located above
4GB physical on 32-bit architectures, so we need a wider type than
"unsigned long" here. Arrange for paddr_vmcoreinfo_note() to return
a phys_addr_t, thereby allowing it to be located above 4GB.
This makes no difference for kexec-tools, as they already assume a
64-bit type when reading from this file.
