[PATCH] kdump: Access dump file in elf format (/proc/vmcore)

From: "Vivek Goyal" <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>

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.

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

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

From: Hariprasad Nellitheertha <hari@in.ibm.com>

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