The patch titled
     Subject: vmcore: allocate buffer for ELF headers on page-size alignment
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     vmcore-allocate-buffer-for-elf-headers-on-page-size-alignment.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: vmcore: allocate buffer for ELF headers on page-size alignment

Allocate ELF headers on page-size boundary using __get_free_pages()
instead of kmalloc().

Later patch will merge PT_NOTE entries into a single unique one and
decrease the buffer size actually used.  Keep original buffer size in
variable elfcorebuf_sz_orig to kfree the buffer later and actually used
buffer size with rounded up to page-size boundary in variable
elfcorebuf_sz separately.

The size of part of the ELF buffer exported from /proc/vmcore is
elfcorebuf_sz.

The merged, removed PT_NOTE entries, i.e.  the range [elfcorebuf_sz,
elfcorebuf_sz_orig], is filled with 0.

Use size of the ELF headers as an initial offset value in
set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32} and
process_ptload_program_headers_elf{64,32} in order to indicate that the
offset includes the holes towards the page boundary.

As a result, both set_vmcore_list_offsets_elf{64,32} have the same
definition.  Merge them as set_vmcore_list_offsets.

[akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: add free_elfcorebuf(), cleanups]
