[PATCH 2/3 -mm] kexec jump -v8 : add write support to oldmem device

["Huang, Ying" <ying.huang@intel.com>]

This patch adds writing support for /dev/oldmem. This can be used to

- Communicate between original kernel and kexeced kernel through write
  to some pages in original kernel.

- Restore the memory contents of hibernated system in kexec based
  hibernation.
