makedumpfile: ppc64: Auto-detect the correct MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS used in vmcore being analyzed.
The latest upstream kernel commit 048ee0993ec8360abb0b51bdf8f8721e9ed62ec4 adds
64TB support to ppc64 kernel and bumps the MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS from 44 to 46. This
change causes sparsemem extreme check to fail in makedumpfile.
This patch auto-detects the correct value to use for MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS by
examining the mem_section array size from the vmcore being analyzed.
This patch has been tested on upstream kernel 3.8.0-rc4 and older kernel
2.6.32.
