There may be holes in the memory address saved for PCI, etc. In such
cases, the memory dump is divided into regions. With this patch, up
to 3 memory regions are supported.

Similar to all other supported dumpfile types, it is invoked as:
$ crash vmlinux <vmname>.vmss
A "<vmname>.vmss" file created by the VMware vSphere ESX hypervisor
contains a header and the full memory image. A "<vmname>.vmss" file
created by the VMware Workstation facility only contains the header,
and must be accompanied by a companion "<vmname>.vmem" memory image
that is located in the same directory as the "<vmname>.vmss" file.
