[Crash-utility] crash version 4.0-3.14 is available

[Dave Anderson]

- Tentatively scheduled for RHEL5-GA

- Added support for Magnus Damm's latest kexec/kdump patch for Xen.
  The ELF header of the vmcore, which is a full memory dump of the
  dom0/hypervisor combination, contains a XEN_ELFNOTE_CRASH_INFO note
  that contains the pfn_to_mfn_list_list value for dom0, allowing
  pfn-to-mfn translations may be made for crash analysis of the dom0
  linux kernel.  (anderson at redhat.com)

- Added support for recognizing the zero-fill segments in ELF vmcore
  files created by the makedumpfile command from kdump /proc/vmcore files.
  Without this patch, ELF vmcore files generated by makedumpfile could
  only be used by gdb.  (anderson at redhat.com)

- Updated the 4.0-3.4 patch that addressed the bogus kernel-/proc/version
  mismatch initialization failures using recent s390x vmlinux files that
  contain an ASCII character just preceding the Linux version string.
  That patch fixed the problem when the vmlinux file name was placed on
  the crash command line; this version also fixes it when "crash" is
  entered alone on the command line, and it has to search for the vmlinux
  file.  (anderson at redhat.com)
