1fcccbac89 elf coredump: replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functions
elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding
macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions.  This patch removes
#ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions.  For
architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in
order to reduce a range of modification.

This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is
worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.

2f79e48ae2 x86: compat_binfmt_elf
This adds fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c, a wrapper around fs/binfmt_elf.c for
32-bit ELF support on 64-bit kernels.  It can replace all the hand-rolled
versions of this that each 32/64 arch has, which are all about the same.

To use this, an arch's asm/elf.h has to define at least a few compat_*
macros that parallel the various macros that fs/binfmt_elf.c uses for
native support.

There is no attempt to deal with compat macros for the core dump format
support.  To use this file, the arch has to define compat_gregset_t for
linux/elfcore-compat.h and #define CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET.  The 32-bit
compatible formats should come automatically from task_user_regset_view
called on a 32-bit task.
