Argh.... Try this:
fix coredump breakage caused by badly tested "[coredump] don't use __kernel_write() on kmap_local_page()"
Let me count the ways I'd screwed up:
* when emitting a page, handling of gaps in coredump should happen
before fetching the current file position.
* fix for problem that occurs on rather uncommon setups (and hadn't
been observed in the wild) sent very late in the cycle.
* ... with badly insufficient testing, introducing an easily
reproducable breakage. Without giving it time to soak in -next.
