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.

/proc/kcore and proc/vmcore.c
