Get rid of multiple definitions of append_elf_note() & final_note()
functions. Reuse these functions compiled under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE.

Hi Hari

Personally I like V1 more, but split the patch 2 is easier for ia64
people to reivew.  I did basic x86 testing, it runs ok.

The above IA64 version looks better than the functions in kexec_core.c
about the Elf64_Word type usage and the simpler final_note function.

Care to update crash_core.c to use this instead?

Otherwise I'm fine with the changes.

Hmmm.. Is void* better over Elf64_Word* to be agnostic of Elf32 or Elf64 
type?

Sure. Will resend.

Both Elf64_Word and Elf32_Word result in a u32.  So I expect the right
solution is to add a definition of Elf_Word to include/linux/elf.h
and to make the buffer "Elf_Word *buf".

That way we preserve the alignment knowledge, while making the code
depend on 32bit or 64bit.

Thanks for the review, Eric. Will address this in the next version.

As some recent changes in powerpc tree may cause merger conflicts,
I will wait for those changes to get into linus's tree and rebase the
next version on top of that..

Thanks
Hari
