[PATCH v3 2/5] ia64: reuse append_elf_note() and final_note() functions

From: Hari Bathini
Date: Mon Jan 02 2017 - 09:14:22 EST


Get rid of multiple definitions of append_elf_note() & final_note()
functions. Reuse these functions compiled under CONFIG_CRASH_CORE
Also, define Elf_Word and use it instead of generic u32 or the more
specific Elf64_Word.

Signed-off-by: Hari Bathini <hbathini@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
---

Changes from v2:
* Added a definition for Elf_Word.
* Used IA64 version of append_elf_note() and final_note() functions.
