Unfortunately akpm had already applied this doc as 60b38b7cbb295d ("ELF:
document some de-facto PT_* ABI quirks") while it being reviewed and
doesn't have any consensus yet.

The current doc path is Documentation/ELF/ELF.rst, which means that
readers expect to find general info about the executable format, not
some sort of trivia/niche like this.

If there are more ELF docs there then a separate directory may be
warranted.

Thanks.
