I test it, and it works well.
OK thanks -- although further testing showed that the patch needed a bit more work
in netdump.c to prevent calling display_ELF_note() if:
(1) the architecture is not x86 or x86-64
(2) the note type is not NT_PRSTATUS or QEMU, because it would also erroneously pass
pointers to other note types such as NT_PRPSINFO and NT_TASKSTRUCT.
Queued for crash-7.1.0:

Thanks,
