[rfc v2][1/3] Remote core file generation: BFD support


Hello,

this implements the suggestion to always zero out the contents of
the generated note in elf_backend_write_core_note.

Retested on powerpc64-linux (Cell/B.E.) and arm-linux.

OK for BFD mainline?


Bye,
Ulrich


ChangeLog:

	* elf.c (elfcore_write_prpsinfo): Provide unconditionally.
	Return NULL if core file generation is unsupported.
	(elfcore_write_prstatus): Likewise.
	* elf32-arm.c (elf32_arm_nabi_write_core_note): New function.
	(elf_backend_write_core_note): Define.
	* elf32-ppc.c (ppc_elf_write_core_note): Always zero out all
	unused parts of generated note section.
	* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_write_core_note): Likewise.
