Subject: vmcore, procfs: introduce a flag to distinguish objects copied in 2nd kernel
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 to have been
copied into a buffer on the 2nd kernel.
