[PATCH v3 07/14] dump: Swap segment and section header locations

[Janosch Frank]

For the upcoming string table and arch section support we need to
modify the elf layout a bit. Instead of the segments, i.e. the guest's
memory contents, beeing the last area the section data will live at
the end of the file. This will allow us to write the section data
after all guest memory has been dumped which is important for the s390
PV dump support.
