The Kconfig symbol KCORE_ELF was removed in v2.6.0, but reappeared in two
architectures. It is useless. Remove it again.

0) Untested.
1) Sent as one patch. Feel free to tell me to split it up in two
patches.

- If you enabled support for /proc file system then the file
- /proc/kcore will contain the kernel core image in ELF format. This
- can be used in gdb:
-
- $ cd /usr/src/linux ; gdb vmlinux /proc/kcore
-
- This is especially useful if you have compiled the kernel with the
- "-g" option to preserve debugging information. It is mainly used
- for examining kernel data structures on the live kernel.

Should I (try to) remember to send future patches for tile, if any,
separately?

I think it's generally slightly easier for the arch maintainers to take changes that are just for their own arch, but it's not too hard to split out the per-arch piece, either.
