Subject[CFT: 2.5.63] fix a bad stack user (elf_core_dump)
Hi,

elf_core_dump() uses a stack of > 0x480 bytes (IIRC).
This patch combines several of the large stack items into
one kmalloc-ed area (which has a size of 0x3fc on x86).
Is this a problem?

Builds and produces core files on 2.5.63. :)
TEST log is in metadata below.
gdb can read the core files, but needs more testing, please.
