Subject: [PATCH] check for invalid physical address of /proc/kcore
 when making ELF dumpfile

Previously when executing makedumpfile with -E option against
/proc/kcore, makedumpfile will fail:

  # makedumpfile -E -d 31 /proc/kcore kcore.dump
  ...
  write_elf_load_segment: Can't convert physaddr(ffffffffffffffff) to an offset.

  makedumpfile Failed.

It's because /proc/kcore contains PT_LOAD program headers which have
physaddr (0xffffffffffffffff).  With -E option, makedumpfile will
try to convert the physaddr to an offset and fails.

Skip the PT_LOAD program headers which have such physaddr.
