[PATCH] kexec: x86_64: vmlinux: fix physical addresses
The vmlinux on x86_64 does not report the correct physical address of
the kernel. Instead in the physical address field it currently
reports the virtual address of the kernel.
This is patch is a bug fix that corrects vmlinux to report the
proper physical addresses.
This is potentially a help for crash dump analysis tools.
This definitiely allows bootloaders that load vmlinux as a standard
ELF executable. Bootloaders directly loading vmlinux become of
practical importance when we consider the kexec on panic case.
