Looks good.

Yes, the commit 0aabe54e6222 changes likely should go in too.  I'm a
little wary of adding all the sanity checks to elf_core_file_p since
that might result in some core files not being recognised at all.  For
example, despite the FIXME I'd guess leaving out the EI_VERSION check
was deliberate.  The following seems reasonable to me.  Please test.
