[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 03/10] xen: add elfnote.h to avoid using numbers instead of constants



Various features and parameters of a pv-kernel are specified via
elf notes in the kernel image. Those notes are part of the interface
between the Xen hypervisor and the kernel.

Instead of using num,bers in the code when interpreting the elf notes
make use of the header supplied by Xen for that purpose.
