Currently, vread can read out vmalloc areas which is associated with a vm_struct. While this doesn't work for areas created by vm_map_ram() interface because it doesn't have an associated vm_struct. Then in vread(), these areas are all skipped. Here, add a new function vmap_ram_vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas. The area created with vmap_ram_vread() interface directly can be handled like the other normal vmap areas with aligned_vread(). While areas which will be further subdivided and managed with vmap_block need carefully read out page-aligned small regions and zero fill holes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
