    o Support for /proc/vmcore interface. This interface exports elf core image
      either in ELF32 or ELF64 format, depending on the format in which elf headers
      have been stored by crashed kernel.
    o Added support for CONFIG_VMCORE config option.
    o Removed the dependency on /proc/kcore.

    This patch has been refactored to more closely match the prevailing style in
    the affected files.  And to clearly indicate the dependency between
    /proc/kcore and proc/vmcore.c

    This patch contains the code that provides an ELF format interface to the
    previous kernel's memory post kexec reboot.
