Fix dump_avail[] for MALTA platforms to include the kernel.

Browse Source 
dump_avail[] is supposed to be a superset of phys_avail[] that
describes all of the memory ranges that should be included in a full
dump.  minidumps don't consider pages described by dump_avail[] to be
valid and thus they are excluded via the is_dumpable() function.  Most
MIPS platforms (including MALTA) set dump_avail[] to be identical to
phys_avail[].  In particular, phys_avail[] doesn't include the kernel
itself, so pages for the kernel and it's global variables are not
considered dumpable and not included in the dump.  Fix this by setting
dump_avail[0] to the first memory address (0) rather than the end of
the kernel.

Several other MIPS platforms have the same bug, though I am only able
to test malta in qemu.  The correct fix is to set dump_avail[] to
describe RAM and in particular to not set dump_avail[0] to the end of
the kernel (kernel_kseg0_end).
