Crash: Recognise slim coredumps and process new elf-note sections
The Linux kernel will begin to support SlimDump for certain types of crashes
and the 'crash' tool needs to recognise them. For these types of coredumps, it
need not lookout for usual elf-structures and start gdb. Also process new
elf-note sections that contain additional information about the crash.
I suppose patching crash make sense.
Unfortunately crash doesn't work on 99% of the kernels I run so, so I
stopped caring a while ago.
