[Crash-utility] [PATCH] crash: add pcpu_info support

Dear all,

We are a team developing the virtualization solution for the Linux
kernel called OpenVZ. Since many people are running kernels patched by
OpenVZ, they can definitely benefit from using the crash utility.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to run crash on top of OpenVZ kernel
without some slight modification of it's code. The reason is the
introduction of some additional data structure to the OpenVZ kernel code
which virtualize runqueues among other things. So the way crash needs to
read struct rq is a bit different from vanilla kernel.

Attached patch adds the needed functionality in a backward-compatible
way. Can you please add it to crash devel tree?

Kind regards, Kirill
