[Crash-utility] [PATCH] Make the __per_cpu_offset symbol available

Hi,
the code in xen_hyper_init() tries to determine the per-cpu shift from the
__per_cpu_shift symbol if available. This doesn't work because the symbol's
value is outside the kernel text address range. This patch makes a special
case for this symbol on Xen targets, so it can be used later.
Without this patch, crash initialization fails on SLES11 Xen hypervisor dumps,
because on incorrect per-cpu offset is assumed. The failure can't be fixed
simply by adding a version check, because SLES11 Xen is patched to increase
the per-cpu shift in order to support more CPUs.
It is also important not to try to relocate ABSOLUTE symbol (such as this
one), so add this condition in store_symbols().
