Thanks. In case you already applied this somewhere, please note that it should be ELF_CORE_EFLAGS and not ELF_CORE_FLAGS.

Here's a new patch.

[PATCH] Use ELF_CORE_EFLAGS for kcore dumps.

ELF_CORE_EFLAGS is already used by the binfmt_elf coredumper to set correct
arch specific ELF header flags on coredumps. Use it for kcore dumps aswell. At
the moment, this affects the CRIS and the H8300 arch.
