Export compare_ranges() function from firmware_memmap.c module.
It is generic function and it could be used by other modules.

On SGI UV (x86_64) kexec grumbles about 'Unusable memory' ranges:
Unknown type (%s) while parsing %s. Please "
"report this as bug. Using RANGE_RESERVED now.
uv44-sys:~ # cat /proc/iomem
00000000-00000fff : System RAM
00001000-00005fff : reserved
00006000-0008efff : System RAM
0008f000-0008ffff : ACPI Non-volatile Storage
00090000-0009ffff : System RAM
00100000-75ffcfff : System RAM
01000000-0139dcaf : Kernel code
0139dcb0-0192c12f : Kernel data

75ffd000-76013fff : Unusable memory
76014000-766a6fff : System RAM
766a7000-766d6fff : Unusable memory
...
This patch keeps Unusable memory as another RANGE_RESERVED area, but
without the warning message.

This patch fixes following warning:
kexec/firmware_memmap.c: In function ‘parse_numeric_sysfs’:
kexec/firmware_memmap.c:70: error: ignoring return value of ‘fgets’, declared
with attribute warn_unused_result
kexec/firmware_memmap.c: In function ‘parse_string_sysfs’:
kexec/firmware_memmap.c:103: error: ignoring return value of ‘fgets’, declared
with attribute warn_unused_result
Difference between v1 and v2: Less indentation.

Since I don't work for SUSE any more and 'bwalle@suse.de' is invalid, correct
it in the copyright so that people can still contact me.

Currently a memory segment in memory map with attribute of EFI_MEMORY_UC
is denoted as "System RAM" in /proc/iomem, while memory of attribute
(EFI_MEMORY_WB|EFI_MEMORY_UC) is also labeled the same.
The kexec utility then includes uncached memory as part of vmcore.
The kdump kernel may MCA when it tries to save the vmcore to a disk.
A normal "cached" access can cause MCAs.
Since kexec assembled memory ranges with memory tagged as "System RAM",
the uncached memory will be excluded if it is labeled differently.
Simon, since only IA64 will create "Uncached RAM" label, i do not
make changes to other arch.
Our HP machine in the lab is dead. I am sorry that i can not test
against other IA64 systems (than SGI's). Feedback is very much
appreciated.
The corresponding kernel patch is needed to test this kexec patch:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-ia64&m=122122791230130&w=2
This patch without the kernel patch will have no effect and do no
harm.
The kernel patch has been commited as
"[IA64] kexec fails on systems with blocks of uncached memory".

Fix these 64 bit build warnings:

kexec/crashdump-elf.c:160: warning: format '%llx' expects type 'long long unsigned int', but argument 4 has type 'Elf64_Off'
kexec/crashdump-elf.c:160: warning: format '%llx' expects type 'long long unsigned int', but argument 5 has type 'Elf64_Addr'
kexec/crashdump-elf.c:160: warning: format '%llx' expects type 'long long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'Elf64_Addr'
kexec/crashdump-elf.c:160: warning: format '%llx' expects type 'long long unsigned int', but argument 7 has type 'Elf64_Xword'
kexec/crashdump-elf.c:160: warning: format '%llx' expects type 'long long unsigned int', but argument 8 has type 'Elf64_Xword'
Tested on PS3 (ppc64) with 32 and 64 bit builds.

After the patch that provides /sys/firmware/memmap has been merged in the 'tip'
tree by Ingo Molnar, kexec should use that interface.
This patch implements architecture-independent parsing in a new file called
firmware_memmap.c. The x86 part is ported to use that memory map for
kexec. We don't use that memory map for building the ELF core headers,
that was the intention for that new interface.
