Zhang Yanfei a11edb59a0 /dev/oldmem: Remove the interface
/dev/oldmem provides the interface for us to access the "old memory" in
the dump-capture kernel.  Unfortunately, no one actually uses this
interface.

And this interface could actually cause some real problems if used on ia64
where the cached/uncached accesses are mixed.  See the discussion from the
link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/12/386.

So Eric suggested that we should remove /dev/oldmem as an unused piece of
code.
