Support for unaccepted memory was added recently, refer commit dcdfdd40fa82

need to accept memory before it can be used.
Do not let /proc/vmcore try to access unaccepted memory because it can
cause the guest to fail.
For /proc/vmcore, which is read-only, this means a read or mmap of
unaccepted memory will return zeros.

As stated, if the relevant table is not already properly populated with
information about unaccepted memory by the first kernel, this probably
logically belongs into Kirills series.
