x86_64 : exclude gart memory region in kexec tools
The following patch was discussed sometime back on kexec-tools mailing list.
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2008-December/003096.html
Sending it here again for inclusion into kexec-tools. thanks
====================================
Exclude GART memory region and make kexec-tools to not create elf headers to
it. Currently it seems like the dump analysis tools do not need a copy of the
GART memory region, hence ignoring it in kexec-tools. Symtoms of accessing
this region in kdump kernel included hangs, spurious restarts, and MCE
(Machine Check Exception) panics in some AMD Opteron systems
