This patch set is for /proc/kcore. By this,

 - many per-arch hooks are removed.

 - /proc/kcore will know really valid physical memory area.

 - /proc/kcore will be aware of memory hotplug.

 - /proc/kcore will be architecture independent i.e.
   if an arch supports CONFIG_MMU, it can use /proc/kcore.
   (if the arch uses usual memory layout.)

BTW, I'll be on small trip from Aug/11 to Aug/17. So, my rtt may be
bad in the next week.

Thanks,
-Kame
