dump-core: store .xen_p2m or .xen_pfn section in pfn ascending order.
So far the order isn't specified and may be random in theory.
But sorted array is requested by crash utility for efficient search.
Fortunately it is the case except ia64 full virtualized domain.
Update document such that those array must be sorted and fix the ia64
full virtualized domain case.
