[PATCH] kexec: x86: vmlinux: fix physical addresses

The vmlinux on i386 does not report the correct physical address of
the kernel.  Instead in the physical address field it currently
reports the virtual address of the kernel.

This is patch is a bug fix that corrects vmlinux to report the
proper physical addresses.

This is potentially a help for crash dump analysis tools.

This definitiely allows bootloaders that load vmlinux as a standard
ELF executable.  Bootloaders directly loading vmlinux become of
practical importance when we consider the kexec on panic case.
