Thanks!

"T" stands for "target" and "K" stands for "kernel".  Yes, we can use
ElfW everywhere.  But I would try to avoid any mass renames.  It's very
easy to write Elf instead of ElfW somewhere in the code, and it would
compile, but it won't work.

Maybe we could have two headers, elf32.h and elf64.h, and every file
that needs Elf definitions would include one of them, dependent on which
elf format it wants.  Including both elf32.h and elf64.h from one source
should be impossible.  It could be a separate patch that would go in
before the ROM modules support.
