One of the relocatable kernel support patches assumes that the target
address will be 0. But for kdump kernels (without relocation support) it
will be 32MB. The following patch fixes this issue.
Fix kdump kernel issue
Kdump kernel without relocation support needs to be moved to
PHYSICAL_START (ie 32MB) instead of 0. This patch fixes this
issue.
