In linux-2.6.34-rc1, an ELF core extension was added; user-land tools
manipulating ELF core dump such as gdb and binutils has already been
modified before; so elf.5 needs to be modified accordingly.
You can follow information on the ELF extension via the LKML post:

The existing text is broken, because there is
no '"Note Section" format' describe below. Simplest
solution is to remove the words "described below".

Update the page to consolidate information from the
outdated man-pages quotactl.2 page and the quotactl.2
page in the "quota-tools" pachage. The page in "quota-tools"
has now been dropped by Jan Kara, so that there is just one
canonical quotactl.2 page (in pan-pages).
Various other pieces added to the page by mtk.

An earlier patch attempted to describe how the unused rusage
fields are used on other systems. But, Mark Hills notes that
that is likely to cause confusion. So, replace that text with
a general statement about why the unused fields are present.
