The purpose of this patch to make it easier for processing offline kdump files for crash analysis. For context on the see this thread for a patch in progress (http://www.mail-archive.com/crash-utility@redhat.com/msg04640.html)
_stext doesn't quite work for this purpose because in my testing it doesn't exactly match the kaslr offset, for some reason _stext is a few hundred bytes after the kaslr offset. The number doesn't appear consistent and I would prefer not to take a dependency on that.
