Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [PATCH] Add --non-mmap option to disable mmap() manually.

When --non-mmap option is specified, makedumpfile doesn't use
mmap() even if /proc/vmcore supports mmap().

+Never use \fBmmap(2)\fR to read \fIVMCORE\fR even if it supports \fBmmap(2)\fR.
+Generally, reading \fIVMCORE\fR with \fBmmap(2)\fR is faster than without it,

+This option is mainly for debugging.

 \fB\-\-xen-syms\fR \fIXEN-SYMS\fR
 Specify the \fIXEN-SYMS\fR with debug information to analyze the xen's memory usage.
 This option extracts the part of xen and domain-0.
