Hi,

Since master is open now, could the following simple change be reviewed please?

It just adds a new known note type in elf.h, and since other projects sync from
glibc, notably elfutils (which currently supports the TM SPRs [1]) - I
understand that it's good to update that on glibc.

Thank you.

Regards,
Gustavo

It doesn't make sense to add this symbol without adding the other ones
too.  Also, keep the list sorted.

Andreas.

Thanks for reviewing it. I'll send a v2.
