[Crash-utility] crash-4.0-2.10 ppc64 4-level pagetable fixes

Hi Dave,

Here are the fixes to make crash understand PPC64 4-level pagetable
layout.

I am not a PPC64 expert, I coded up looking at the ppc64 kernel
pagetable handling code. It seems to work fine for most part.

But I do get occasional, "user virtual" translation failures. 
I think I screwed up PMD calculations. I am not able to spot 
the problem. Can some one help ?

Thanks,
Badari
