X-Git-Tag: next-20130607~2^2~413

vmcore: allow user process to remap ELF note segment buffer

Now ELF note segment has been copied in the buffer on vmalloc memory.  To
allow user process to remap the ELF note segment buffer with
remap_vmalloc_page, the corresponding VM area object has to have
VM_USERMAP flag set.
